Dropping a court case?

Dropping a court case?

my mom and brother called the cops on my dad 2 months ago, he was arrested for assault. They both wrote staments. BUT they did not want to press charges, he was arrested anyway and charged by the court. Well, the court date is in 2 weeks and they are going to go in and say nothing happened, it was all blown out of proportion and my mom is saying she don't remember anything. What will happen in this case? Will this be dropped?

what will happen?

Probably but your mom is lying and this is not the way to deal with this. Tell the truth and let the court decide what's right to do about it. If she wrote a statement and now says she doesn't remember it she's perjuring herself and opening herself to be charged with false statements or perjury. That is a serious (felony) charge.


Truth Sets You Free
That will be determined by the judge after hearing all the facts in this case..

Get your dad to see a pastor or mental health professional to help with anger management and make sure the judge is aware. If your dad has a history of these incidents it may still not go well. The worst thing your mom can do is lie to the judge. Ask the judge for help. If your dad is truly repentant the judge may offer anger management courses. Do not lie. This is a serious offense in court and judges have seen enough to know when you are lying. The judge also may feel that if your mother lies, she is being forced by your dad. You will not gain any sympathy for dad like that.
