My girlfriend had me arrested for a domestic she was going insane she lied to the police because she didnt know what she was doing because she was supposed to take her meds she has a history of depresion and a stress disorder she dont remember anything. so i went to jail for 26 days my lawyer told me i was looking at 2rs in jail if i tried to fight it so i pled guilty because she was off the wall and i was worried about my 20 month old daughter.2 days after i got out my girlfriend was taking to ballpate for a week my question is can i have my guilty plea overturned my girlfriend said she would tell them that she dont remember anything about the insident because she was not on her meds .thank you.

Re: overturn my verdict
You may try to move to vacate your plea for what appears like ineffective assistance of counsel, and put the matter bac on track.
