Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Please get counseling and find out why you are willing to tolerate abuse and risk your life. Being put in the hospital was NOT a misunderstanding and it would be foolish for you to do anything other than pursue the case and get away from your abuser. There is help available. If you cannot afford it, call a local woman's shelter for help.

Be thankful the police did come.

And by the way, the decision to prosecute is made by the state and not you. Hopefuylly they have more sense than you do. (His lawyer wants you to stay away from the police because they will tell you excatly what just told you).

Try and get the charges dropped and he will become more abusive. The next time you may be in the morgue.

Very interesting. Why did you need an ambulance for a misunderstanding? I suspect that now that you have called 911, there will be some follow-up investigation. When 911 is called it means there is an emergency, not a misunderstanding. When 911 was called, did you specifically ask for ambulance, probably NOT, which is why the police responded. When the police reponded, you probably gave them a brief desciption of what occurred before you were transported. So, now the police intend to follow-up. Good luck.

To add to the other responses, if you think the abuse will stop, your eyes will be opened. Your actions now are handing him a license to do anything he wants from this point on because you have shown him that you are very willing to allow him to do anything. Go to some shelters and ask women there what happened when they stayed with an abuser. Your boyfriend is not a man -- just the opposite.
