It depends on what they charge her with. If there are not allegations of bodily harm or use of a weapon, it might be charged as a class B misdemeanor. Class B Misdemeanors carry a maximum snetence of 6 months in jail. However, upon jail time is rare for a person with no criminal history being convicted of theoir first class B Misdemeanor. If fighting the case is not possible, a good attonrey should be able to resolve the case in a favorable manner. As a victim, you also have the right to be represented by counsel. You don't have to speak with the prosecutor or the cops. Anything you say to them will be used against your Fiance. Hire an Attorney ASAP.
