Q: Altercation with bf & I initially signed waiver to press charges and then 2 months later Signed rebuttal. Help
I don’t want to see him in jail. It was a one time offense. He was drunk and I was angry and emotionally and pregnant at the time I decided to sign the rebuttal. What are my options. I told da I don’t want to testify to grand jury and I want to move forward with my bf. What can I do?
A: You are under no obligation to speak with the DA and cooperate, unless they issue a subpoena. You can express to the DA that you do not want to go forward with the case and you should also speak with your boyfriend’s attorney to let them know as well. His attorney is in the best position to use the information in your boyfriend’s favor.
