I think that the advice you got, about getting a lawyer for yourself because you could be charged with making a threat, is exactly right. One place to find an attorney who can represent you here is our website, http://attorneypages.com
I don't know what your brother is charged with, or what he actually did or didn't do. But by having you make that phone call for him, he got you involved in all of it, and it wasn't a kind thing for him to do. It's time to protect yourself; trust your lawyer, not your brother, at this point.
