Don't just hope. Evaluate the situation and avoid the areas where you(I mean your friend) might be in trouble. I don't know about your situation, but in general, someone used to having things his way doesn't take kindly to not having things his way.
> One of the prosecuting police officers in this case - that I've had some correspondence with - is on the record as wanting to beat me up for interfering with his case.
That sound totally out of world for you, but it sounds pretty normal to me.
> I guess a holiday in India is out for the moment ;)
Don't worry too much about it. It's not like you land in India, and they meet you at the airport. People you have pissed off have no means of knowing if you are in India. But yes, if you do come to India, avoid crossing paths. Also, even if you do cross paths, you have established that you have access to legal help and you aren't going to just roll over. That would exclude regular cops from messing with you again.
