MA Domestic Violence: Don't Underestimate Your Charges
Charges of domestic violence are severe matters. Many defendants mistakenly believe that the charges will dissolve if the alleged victim opts not to press charges. However, the prosecution may proceed with charges against the victim’s will and might even summon the victim to testify at trial, regardless of their wishes. Unless the alleged victim is a spouse, they may be forced to testify or risk being held in contempt.
Several defendants find themselves shocked by the situation. Their cases’ circumstances might not seem to merit criminal charges. The following might resonate with your case:
- You were arrested following a verbal dispute devoid of violence.
- You might have been arrested for minor contact, like a simple push.
- Your spouse might be making false allegations to gain an advantage in a divorce or child custody battle.
- You may have been involved in a mutual altercation.
- You could have actually been the victim, not the perpetrator of domestic violence.
