What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
My ex-husband is facing trial for interference w/ electronic communication, 2 second offense domestic violence charges, and contempt of court-bond violation. I am subpoenaed as a witness bc his victim recanted ( says she lied and forced her child to lie also),and his first offense was against me. He is trying to get the charges dismissed, but failing that will go to trial in Sept. I am wondering how long he may be incarcerated if at all, and how long a "No Contact" order btw he and his new victim will be imposed if he is convicted. Can she be charged with filing a false police report? Can she be charged with perjury if she recants on the witness stand and he is convicted anyway? The case against him is pretty strong. Her original statement to responding officers was consistent with evidence at the scene.
Thanks
