What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
My state is Florida.
During an argument with my x-wife back in Nov 2001 she attacked and injured me with a throphy.
I grabbed and held her down to prevent her from continuing her attack.
I left the scene and she later called the police and I was arrested for misdemenor battery based on her testimony that I attacked her.
I was advised my my lawer to accept a plea to misdemenor fighting.
Now my x wants to clear the record with the truth of what happened.
Is this possible to do this in Florida?
 


You will undoubtedly need and require the services of an attorney. There may be a scant possibility by filing a sworn Rule 3.850 post-conviction motion for relief based on "newly discovered evidence". Most victim "recantations" are not considered very credible after sentencing. It could go either way.
