The state has brought charges (police) on Person A for assault & battery on Person B.
Person B filed for and was granted a restraining order on Person A.
Person A tried to get a restraining order on Person B and was denied.
Person A was arraingned on the charge of A & B -- AND THEN filed a false charge against Person B --> can that information be admissible in the trial against Person A?
(That Person A waited 12 days after the incident, after being served a restraining order and being arraingned on criminal charges to then "decide" that they were the "victim.")
Also in the hearing for the restraining order, Person A NEVER stated that they were the "victim."
Just trying to understand how the courts work and seeking justice....
Thanks
