Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My fiance was recently arrested for domestic battery. Before the incident occurred, I had taken cough medicine and nyquil. The incident lasted for a couple of hours, and when the police came I gave them a statement which I now believe to be incorrect. Under the influence of medication, and after the stress of what happened, I said some things that weren't quite accurate. The incorrect statements led to felony charges. What actually happened should only have been misdemeanor charges. I want to recant or correct my statement so that he is not charged with felonies for something that he didn't do. How can I change my statement (which was written, signed, and sworn in) without getting in trouble myself?
