A: It is no longer up to you as to whether the state will prosecute your husband or not. If you have not previously used your marital privilege you can and as the only witness, it is unlikely the state would proceed. I would also note that you should be careful what you write in open forums as what you post online can be used against you and it is possible for criminal actions to be taken against you,if you did in fact lie to an officer.
