| | | I was drunk...
What is the name of your state? wisconsin
So my boyfriend and I were drinking one night and long story short he had come home after me, we got into an argument and I ended up calling the police on him. Now he's being charged with battery, disorderly conduct, intimidate/dissuade witness from reporting and criminal damage to property.
What I'm wondering is that I didn't tell the police that I started the whole argument, and I actually hit him first and he never hit me. The guilt is driving me insane because now he's going to get into trouble for something I started. What would happen if I went forward with this information?  |

The prosecutor will look over the evidence and decide if it is worth going forward with the case or not.
I think it is strange that he is being charged with all the above if he never was physical abusive to you. |

Simply, the officers investigated and took actions based on what they heard and saw. Any attempt to spin it another way would likely not be successful. The officers will testify as to what they saw and heard... and the court will rule based on the true facts.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

What happened was that we were arguing he pushed me and then I pushed him back harder and he got in my face and so I hit him in the mouth. Then he pushed me and I fell and he knelt down and I just kept swinging and then I gave him in face face twice (which gave him two black eyes). He picked me up off the ground and then pushed me into a wall, punched a window and then I called the police. |

| | | The only thing your explantion shows is that you BOTH should have been charged. Oh...and that you need to just stay away from each other.

It wasn't a smartass comment. It was the truth. You both assaulted the other, you both should have faced charges. You are obviously not able to control yourselves and (according to you) you both have an addiction problem.

This is why I want to go to the police and tell them exactally what happened because the 9th step is making direct amends to people you have harmed and I don't feel right until I admit to what I did and accept the consiquences. |

Then prepare yourself for possibly being charged as well.
You both should also look into anger management. |

Wow.
Looks to me like he started it by pushing you first and defended yourself by knocking fekking hell out of him. Hence he is charged with the crime
