Any evidence, including photos, would be part of discovery that your lawyer performs. It is generally auomatic in a criminal case (unlike family law) and cannot be used if not disclosed. Photos are usually referenced in the police report along with any recorded statements.

Wow! Sounds like you are just trying to start a fight, Relayer. Why don't you try to use your time to do something productive rather than bash a person that is innocent until proven guilty. It is not your place to judge. So I say if you don't have something polite to say, don't say it at all.

I really dont think he is trying to start a fight, it is just alot of people that go through this say pretty much the same thing. They didnt do it.
I went through the same thing with my XH. He was abusive, I called the cops a few times, I was stupid enough to take him back and one day I couldnt take it anymore. I went off on him for telling my daughterfrom a previous relationship and our daughter to take thier F'ing A's to their GD room, then proceeded to shove them there. I got in the middle of it. He punched me in the face, almost broke my nose, choked me, and slammed my head into the wall (from what the kids say, I dont remember), I punched him a few times, and the cop said he wasnt taking either of us to jail unless we called again. So, that was the end of it. If the cop had wanted to, he could have taken us both to jail.
If you really are innocent, I wish you the best of luck. If you arent, I guess you get what ya get.

This poster did NOT say they didn't do it. They didn't say they did either. What they DID say is they've been to court over it twice but the supposed "victim" keeps refusing to show up in court. So they're dragging it out. And she said they've been sending her emails since the no contact order. So she asked if the charges get dropped on a third no show, considering the emails as well. To which Relayer, whom I guess is having a really bad day after seeing his post on the other board, responds as if the poster is lying about something? About what? About not knowing the answer to the question they asked. Since they didn't state one way or another whether they were guilty.

True. Alot of states will pick up the DV charges whether the victim recants or not. I would "think" the contact after the no contact order would hurt the case, but the courts dont always make sense. Sometimes, the "victim" says they were intimidated by the perp, and therefore felt the need to make peace, etc.... I am going around in circles, trying to say there is no one answer to this question.

Well, we went through the same thing. And it's extremely frustrating. During our guardianship hearing with my FIL. It was a tactic they used. We had the actual police reports though which verified that my HUSBAND was the one that was abused when FIL punched him. They took pics of his bloody mouth, and yet FIL? Not a scratch. Yet, on his idiotic lawyer's advice, they filed elder abuse. Then? FIL doesn't show up, says his lawyer told him he didn't need to and that my husband was found guilty?!?! What?!?! His lawyer showed up in court and went in and had the charges DISMISSED prior to the hearing. We had to sit in that courtroom 2 hours that morning for that B.S.??? Our lawyer knew that was probably going to be the outcome and so he didn't go to court with us, but stood by on the phone. He said if they called our case, we were to call him and he'd be there in 5. But he was never needed.
The tactic here was...hubby was guardian for his mom. By his dad doing this, he was removed from the house. Whereupon, they immediately stashed MIL in a secret nursing home. We found out later where she was, but not before the damage had been done. Being she was already in a home, the court kept it so. And they appointed the state as her guardian at the final hearing so they could collect as much dollars as possible, since they figured the family couldn't work it out between them. But FIL blatantly went against a court order appointing hubby as guardian. He had put himself, with his grandson, on the nursing home paperwork as her guardians. Being that he was her husband, the home didn't question this. They didn't know a CO existed otherwise.
It is unfortunate that some people will use the law to their advantage like this. In the end, the charges were dismissed, and nothing was done. But again, the damage had been done, and because of FIL's advanced age, nothing would be done to him. But something should have at LEAST been done with his lawyer. But they can pretty much get by with anything unscathed.

Exactly. Some of these people are truly naive and shouldn't be hanging around this particular forum giving adivce of which they know nothing.
I have never heard a crimminal outright say they did it. It was always "someone else" etc. unless they were confessing to the cops or something.
No one "ever did it"
To think the criminal mind would do any different is idiotic.
Ya, I am a troll for pointing out human nature.
The OP was charged. They don't charge DV unless there is overwhelming evidence (and sometimes not even then). She did it and now trying to get out of it and of course, there are certain women on this board that would defend her even is she murdered her husband.
HUGE EYE ROLL that people can be so naive.

I agree. There are certain people on this board who believe a woman never initiates DV. I know alot of women are catty, spiteful and a few other things I wont mention. I also know that some people (women and men) like to play the victim card. And some people just have no idea how much easier it is to tell the truth.
