How do I as a wife get charges dropped for domestic violence from my husband
Asked on Jun 13th, 2020 on Domestic Violence - Utah
More details to this question:
So the statement that I told the cops and the one that I wrote was that we were arguing about bills like normal people do from time to time and that we both got upset with each other and we were trying to get around each other in our small bedroom in our apartment and we have a futon at the end of our bed and we were trying to get around each other and fell into it. The cops the said that my husband was forcibly holding me down to where I couldn't get up but that is not what I said to them

As a victim or alleged victim, you have the right to be represented by your own attorney. It woudl be wise to hire an attorney who knows how to represent victims and work with a prosecutor to get a case like this dismissed. If the prosecutor thinks they can prove the case, they often won't drop it even if the victim wants the caser to be dropped.
