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?

Since you potentially face criminal penalties, you need to get yourself an attorney to see what would be the best way to handle this.
