👉 Counterretreat is a legal concept used in the United States criminal justice system that refers to an attempt by an individual or group of individuals to stop, disrupt, or prevent the prosecution of another individual or group. Counter-retreats are typically initiated by individuals who believe they have evidence linking them to a crime and want to prevent other defendants from being prosecuted. In the context of counterretreat, the defendant may be arrested, detained, or held in custody until their case is heard in court.
