If your husband stands beside you in court on DV assault third as a witness that he did not press the charges against you as you were not guilty will you win?

Difficult to answer. If there was an arrest involved, the arresting officer(s) will also testify as to what they saw and observed at the time. If their testimony is strongly indicative of the fact that an assault did occur (i.e.: obvious injuries - etc) the judge may discount his testimony and could convict you anyway. What most people don't understand, is that in Domestic Violence cases it is not up to the victim whether THEY want to press charges or not. Domestic Violence is a criminal assault crime committed against 'the state.' Your husband may be a reluctant witness, but it is not within his power to "drop" the charges.

How can you drop sexual assault charges in NJ?
If you are the victim and it was reported to law enforcement it is probably too late to "drop" the charges. Sexual assaults are characterized as crimes against the state and once investigation and prosecution have begun it is too late to stop it. You can contact the prosecutor or investigating agency and declare that you would be an un-willing witness but even that might not be successful.
If you assault someone with a weapon and they choose to not press charges can the DA do it anyway even if the person involved wont testify?

What happens with the charges when someone presses felony charges on you when your on probation and the person is in jail when the court date appears?
"People" don't press charges. The State (in the form of the prosecutor's office) presses charges. If the complainant in the offense you are being charged with is currently in prison, does not mean that you he can't be a witness against you in the offense you allegedly committed against him.
Whats the compensation typically after youve pressed charges for assault battery?
