Cyberstalking
I was charged with cyberstalking due to things I said on a personal blog. The comments were not about the person who filed the warrant, and I have had no contact via any electronic or physical means with the person other than professional work emails. What recourse do I have?

I am an attorney in CT who recently dealt with a similar situation involving the internet and charges stemming from cybertalking. you need to find a criminal lawyer that is familiar with the court that this matter is pending. The state is going to want to know that there is no reason to worry about this matter any more in order for it to reduce or throw out the charge. There is nothing you can do at this stage other than obtain a lawyer and show up to court.
In the case that I had, my client was talking directly about the complaining party. We spoke to a family relations person at the court (the case involved family members) and the state threw out the charges becasue it was convinced that there were nto going to any further incidents.
Be patient with the process and hire a lawyer to help you. This may also have implications with your job however, I do not have enough information about that the guide you further. Good luck!
