What is the name of your state? Virginia
my BF and i got into a fight in late august. we both ended up pushign and shoving. so, it was both of us really fighting. i called the police because i wanted him to leave the house. when they finally got there, i did not want to press charges, just simply get him out (he left by then). the police said they had to file a report, etc.
court is this coming monday, i'm very nervous. he's being charged with assault and battery. i did not however tell the police at the time the report was taken that i fought him as well. i only told about what he had done to me. therefore, i dont believe this will be a fair trial. i told this to the commonwealth attorney already. she stated that all i can do is recommend the day of the trial, what i want to happen with him.
we are expecting a child and i dont want to see him in jail. i never did, even from the beginning. i just thought i could threaten him to leave with the police. i see where i'm wrong, but i didnt know that was the law.
so basically, is there anwyay, i can get them to dismiss the case or get a low sentence? i told the prosecutor that i will be no help to them, as i'm their witness, because i do not believe he's being charged fairly nor is the police report correct, because i had it read to me. plus i did not tell the side where i fought him.
what can i do..i'm very worried and i dont need the stress while pregnant!!!
