Do not make any statements to anyone. There may be a self-defense claim for you brother and a defense of others for you. You should contact a lawyer in your area. This will allow you to discuss the details more depth so an attorney has a better understanding of the facts. This will also allow you to learn more about the charges, defenses, potential penalties, court procedure., etc. Most criminal defense attorneys offer free consults. The same attorney cannot represent both of you.
