What is the name of your state? WV
My husband's family have fighting over their parents estate since their mom passed away on March 15th. On April 15th his one sister went into the home and started removing various items. When my husband and his brothers arrived they call the police they could not settle this but if anything was removed to keep a listing. Well the other sister lives in VA and does not drive so the brothers went to get her. My H put a note on a certain cabinet not to be removed. When he came back 2 hours later ALL the furniture was removed. The thieving sister was the only other person there. He searched for the cabinet found it in her vehicle and took it out and placed it on his truck. She then tried to drag it off and it fell on top of her he put it back on the truck. She realized he was taking it so she jumped up and kicked all the glass out of the doors. Saying if she couldn't have it no one could. My husband did not strike her anytime but because of her own actions she needed medical attention. My H said they both used cursing language. She then filed charges at 3pm for assault and verbal abuse. my H then gave his statement to police. The officer said it sounded like a he said she said but the DA makes the decision. Her daughter called us around 11pm that evening threatening my husband not to go to sleep and accusing him of beating up her mom. Well of couse the language was not pretty by either party my husband was in bed asleep when the phone rang so you can imagine. We haven't spoke to them since but today my husband was arrested for battery he is out on bond. She changed it from assault to battery plus her daughter claims my H admitted to her on the phone he assaulted her mom. Which I know is a lie I at least heard his side of the conversation. His sister is a notorious liar. How can my H defend himself from liars who think nothing of perjury and isn't the daughters claim heresay?? Also what type lawyer should he get and what outcome do you think he could have? there are no witnesses to the actual confrontation. She does have medical evidence of stitches in her leg and bruising. Need to get an attorney within the week. Also why did the DA press charges??? Does that mean he believes her?
