I was involved in a Domestic Violence incident a few days ago and my fiance was charged with third degree assault, class 4 criminal mischeif, prohibited use of a weapon and a DUI.
So a couple of questions...
He always carries a gun in his truck (which I'm pretty sure is legal in Colorado) and it was in his truck BEFORE the incident occured. They found it when they arrested him and I am told that the gun was loaded but he had a safety muzzle on it, which is what he always does. Can he still be convicted for this?
As far as the whole incident itself, do think it would be possible for the charges to be dropped if 1) I provided the police with a statement that says how my fiance tried to drop the issue that we ended up fighting about, multiple times throughout the night and that I initiated the argument again. The statement also recalls how he was calm and tried to have a conversation with me before the incident occured and 2) I tell them that violence has NEVER occured before (because it hasnt) 3) he has no criminal background or previous incidents involving the law 4) he has a great military record that has nothing but awards and acheivements and finally, if we show the prosecutor that we have been taking anger management/couples therapy and are making the effort to make changes for the better?
Would it be possible that the case be dismissed or any (or all) the charges be dropped?
