To intimidate a witness is to do something that discourages the witness from appearing in court and testifying truthfully. This can be something as overt as making direct threats of harm to the witness if they appear and testify, or as low profile as staring or giving the witness the "hairy eyeball" in the corridor outside of the courtroom.
Intimidation of a witness is a serious crime. The offense can be charged as a felony even if the case in which the witness is to testify concerns only a misdemeanor.
