A: If you were acting in self-defense you cannot be convicted of felony domestic violence. You should consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
A:
contact an experienced criminal lawyer asap............and do not talk to police...........you have probably said to much already.
were you fingerprint on knife or gun?
weapons could lead to prison time but without all the facts it is hard to say
