A: You should go to the District Attorneys office where the charges were filed and speak to the assistant D.A. who has been assigned the case. You need to clear up your statement that you made to insure that indeed you told the investigator that you don't think the person charged choked you. You should ask the D.A. if your statement said otherwise and clear up that issue as it is very important. If you wait until the Court date and testify to something different than what you wrote in your statement, you could get in trouble. So go see the D.A and get that issue cleared up before the Court date.
