What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? colorado
So in this situation I am the "victim". I have 2 things I need legal advice on.
My bf is facing 2nd degree assault charges from domestic violence. The police got involved a month after the alleged incident and it was regarding something completely different. I did not want to give a statement regarding the domestic violence or press charges for multiple reasons. The officer told me that I didn't have to and I was under the impression by the officer that nothing would come of it. I was sort of hazy about that night anyway and I gave a very brief summary of what I remembered... however I refused to make a written statement and havent to this day... most was the officer asking questions and me giving vague answers. I was then told that the state would be pressing charges. We thought nothing was going to happen until there was a warrant issued. My bf requested the report and I read the report. A lot of what is on the report seems exaggerated by the officer (I say officer because I know I didn't say some of the stuff on there). One of the big things on the charge says I was pregnant when the incident happened. I WAS NOT pregnant, I mentioned I thought I was pregnant but wasn't sure (and it turns out I wasn't in fact pregnant). My question about that is this: how do I go about correcting this? I read about recanting a statement however I don't know how to go about doing this but also I didn't lie... the info was exaggerated by the officer. That is my first question.
My bf turned himself in and went to court. The DA contacted me and I requested not only as low/ cheap as possible bail but I also stated I didn't want a protective order because I felt in no way in danger. There was a mandatory one put in place anyway. I was living with my bf at his parents house at the time, being 100% financially supported, being given transportation, fed, etc so with this protective order I am in a horrible situation. The DA was made aware of how dire it is that this be dropped as soon as possible but the court date is 2 mo out. I submitted a motion to drop the protective order but now I am trying to get the court date scheduled sooner. My next question is actually a few: 1. How do I get the protective order dropped sooner 2. How do I get the court date rescheduled sooner/ get the judge to review my motion 3. Even with the motion being filed and court date moved up is there anything I can do to assure it is dropped 4. How likely with this info is it that I get this protective order dropped?
Please help as I am desperate to be able to go back home, see my bf and continue with my life. Thank you.
