Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

The State Attorney would like you to testify against your fiance. They take domestic violence very very very seriously. You can refuse to testify, say you don't want to testify, etc. Most of the time the State will go away. If they will not go away and your husband does not want to take an offer from the state. Then you your finance has to get a attorney, he goes to trial, you testify honestly that he was trying to control you, not choke you. He has a right to defend himself. If you are a good witness and do not get angry and are telling the truth and do not stumble on your words, then the State looks silly, but they could charge you with battery if you admit to attacking your fiance. I don't know what the state would do if you actually admitted to attacking him. It almost never happens. I suppose if you believe that you were wrong and you truly want to be honest and love your fiance, then that is what you will tell them. Maybe they will believe you and maybe they think you are protecting your fiance. It is a game of chicken. But if you are steadfast and go to trial and take the blame, they might just drop the case right in the middle of the trial and the defense attorney would ask for a acquittal (dismissal) against your fiance. In short, one of you will have to stick your neck out and it will test your relationship.
