Re: domestic violence/battery
If they are charging you both and you are the only two witnesses, you are both entitled to plead the 5th and remain silent and it will be difficult for the state to prove a battery case. A lot will depend on what the cop's saw (or say they saw). Also, it is very important what kind of statements you made regarding how the scratches got there. Mutual accidental scratches sounds a bit suspicious, but should fall short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you would like to consider obtaining legal assistance, please e-mail me with more details at [email protected]. Please be sure to tell me what city or county you live in.
