My friend, Travis was involved in an arguement with his homosexual partner, John, and it turned violent. Nobody was in the room to see who struck first or how it started, but in the end John was bleeding and bruised and Travis had very little injury at all. When the police arrived, John claimed that he hadn't struck Travis at all and that Travis had just started hitting him. Due to the injuries on John and the lack of a witness to say that John hit Travis at all, Travis was arrested for domestic battery. We were told as they took him away that he would probably only spend the night in jail because they were carging him with a misdemeaner and it was his first offense, but the court is keeping him in jail for the next 8 days until his court date. I visited him last night in jail and he had no idea who his lawyer is (he requested one) or what he can do. Neither he or I or any of our friends are familiar with what to do, and I'm at a loss for how to help him.
Please, I could really use some kind of advice.
Thank you
P.S. Is it true that he can only have visitors one day a week?
