Call up the prosecutor's office and ask to explain to the one assigned to your case that you weren't thinking clearly due to illness when you requested that your husband be charged with assault and battery, and, consequently, that you don't feel that you would make a very credible witness for the Commonwealth if the case were to go to trial.
