Q: Can a judge override a warrant put out by commissioner? Statements were taken from a mental health patient in crisis
I’m a mental health patient. Bf, his ex, harassed me to the point it has deminished my already diagnosed mental state. I have charges on her and one the commissioner gave was for destroying my life & making my mental health worse on purpose. She started again in Dec, Christmas made 30yrs of my mothers passing, her 70th birthday would’ve been Jan 2nd. I was already mentally strained and this woman knows all of that. My bf and I got in an arguement, his ex was in my head and I was having a mental health crisis. This has happened before, same situation. So a week after our arguement on Dec 27th, Jan 2 I had lost it completely and I called the police and told them false statements to get him back because his ex was sending me messages that almost made me commit suicide & he said false things about me on facebook. I am a self harmer. During the argument I cut myself with a knife which he swatted away from me. I was hitting myself & cutting myself. I have psych that can confirm all
A:
Once charges are filed, only the State's Attorney can drop the charges. If a motion is filed, a judge can convert a warrant to a Summons. In any case, your boyfriend needs a lawyer.
You also should retain an attorney. You have admitted to crimes which include making a false statement to a police officer. This is an offense that carries possible jail time. You should speak with an attorney about how to proceed including your fifth amendment rights.
