If there is a witness who can testafy, then yes. Also if you made any statement saying you did, then they can.
YOU cannot have the charges dropped by yourself. Such an assault is a crime against the state and only the prosecutor can 'drop' the charges. If you are a reluctant 'complaining witness' speak to the prosecutor about your hesitation to go forward.
No. Simple assault is a crime. There is probably a mirror tort (assault) for which you can make a civil action.
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.
A defendent has to be faware of his charges that way he knows what he has to testify to
Citizens cannot "press' or "drop" charges. That function can only be done by law enforrcement or prosecutors. Citizens CAN refuse to either complain or testify in their case. Once they have refused to complain, or refused to testify, it is unlikely that they would be able to re-institute the complaint once they had dropped it.
It is going to have to be PROVEN that you were the one who committed it or were involved. It would help for you to have a good alibi or corroborating witnesses who can testify on his behalf against the evidence of the opposing side.
No minor (18 and under) can be forced to testify and for those who are not minors you can face charges if you do not testify.
If you testify against, you argue against them.. If you testify for then, you agree with them and support them
No, it is illegal to pay a witness to testify in court. This is considered bribery and can result in criminal charges.
absolutely if your boyfriend is willing to testify for you and talk to your lawyer. But some great advice would be to tell the whole truth and not leave anything out.
They can't. Only subpoeana'd witnesses may testify at a trial or hearing.
Report, press charges, testify.
