Q: How can I prove I lied to police about ex putting his hands on my neck???

I went & spoke to prosecutors & detectives, I am willing to go to jail, I lied & I have no idea how to try & right this situation. He is charged with attempted strangulation,

A: You can do an Affidavit telling the truth about the lie you told. Sign your name and above your name, write these words:

"I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury pursuant to the law of the State of Idaho that the foregoing is true and correct."

Mail this to the prosecutor (a copy) and ask them to dismiss the charge(s) against your bf.

Good luck to you!
