Please help me know what will happen to boyfriend


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Virginia.

My boyfriend and I got in a fight a few months ago. I went to my brothers house because I was upset and without me knowing he called the police and took me down there. i was pressured into a statement. and they took pictures. in my statement it never says he hit me all it says is that he pushed me off of him when i was hitting him. they arrested him.. he is on probation. he went and talked to his court lawyer and she said that he will probably get jail. but when i talked to the commonwealth attn he said he would probably get just anger management. now his lawyer wants to talk to me. me and him are still living together. i bailed him out and we just got a new apartment and are doing very well. better than ever. is there anything i can do to make sure he does not go to jail. he has no past history of violence or anything. he is actually a very good man. what can i do?????

And why were you not arrested as well? You BOTH commited assault. You should have been arrested the police dropped the ball there. As for the other if he didnt hit you what were they taking pictures of?

Well, can you explain a) why, if he's a good man and you're a good woman that it happened at all and b) if you're both so good how you can guarantee that it won't happen again.

Can you do that?
