What is the name of your state?I am in GA. In november 2002, I was late coming home and my husband was mad cause I was late. I decided instead of arguing with him I would just take my daughter, from a previous marriage, and leave. I went to call my dad and ask if we could stay with him but he cut the phone line and said we were staying there. I went to get in my car and he parked his truck behind me so I couldn't get out. I tried to move around him but I guess with being upset I ended up reversing and barely tapped his car there was no damage done to either vehicle. His sister and mom and everyone lived next door and he walked off to their house. While he was gone I moved his car and left. Later the police arrest me and charge me with criminal tresspas saying I cut the phone line and aggravated assault saying I tried to run him over with the car. I didn't know they could accuse of that stuff without that much proof. Anyway I stayed in jail like a week maybe might have been less. I got a lawyer and I got divorced from the guy that charged me with all this stuff in July 2003. A few days after I went to court for the divorce I got arrested on a bench warrant for not appearing to a court case. They had my address wrong the numbers were all mixed up mine was like 1472 and they had 4712. Anyway they didn't have my lawyer listed either. I was angry so I fired him and got a new one. Anyway, it still hasn't been to court yet so I have a pending felony, this means I can't vote and very hard to get a job. What is the statute of limitations on being prosecuted? Are we truly innocent until proven guilty because I haven't been proven guilty but I sure have been treated like I was. How long until I can get this resolved and if it is he says she says like the case is do I need to be worried? I just need some help. My current lawyer just wants to wait on everything and why are lawyers so hard to actually talk to? Wouldn't this fall under self defense if I did do something wrong? Thanks for any ideas or answers.
