Q: I’ve been charged with terroristic threat but for months my ex and her family have threatens my families life.
I have kept quiet in hopes my manipulative ex would chnage but never did, just got worse and ended up in a dark place feeling used and played by someone I loved. Can they go back and charge her and her family as well for threatning me? I have proof of it happening multiple times. Does this help the odds of my case being dropped?
A:
No one in this forum can evaluate your case. No one here knows the evidence in the State's possession. Have this discussion with your attorney.
You are going to have to retain one; the DA is not going to dismiss the charges against you just because you walk into court and state: "She did it first!" That's a fact question, and fact questions are fore juries to decide.
Good luck.
