re-writing a police statement?

  • Posted on January 26, 2011 at 5:23 pm

Hello,
A few nights ago my fiance and I had gotten into a fight( I was intoxicated at the time) I attacked him to get the phone to call the police, I was hitting and kicking him and in self defense he restrained me and somehow my stomach got hurt, he did not hit or punch me.
Anyways the cops came and charged him with assult, Me and him didn’t tell the cops that it wasn’t his fault. So now he is charged with assult and I wrote a statement when being pretty much drunk and I left out a lot of detail and now want to re-write it because my head wasn’t clear when I wrote the last one.
Am I aloud to re-write my statement telling them exactly what happened since I was drunk when I wrote the last one?
And what are the chances of the police dropping the charges if I write what really happened?
I didn’t lie in the statement, they just assumed I called them cuz he assulted me but I only called them to get him to leave my house for the night. The police wrote it from what she thought happened..but I signed it being stupid and drunk.
Please help me we never fight and get along great, he doesn’t have any criminal history at all, not a parking ticket..nothing, he doesn’t drink or smoke and is an all around great man and father. They put a no contact order on him also that I want removed but don’t know how..and my daughters first b-day is almost here and we want him home so much..please help with any knowledge..thanks in advance.
And sorry this was soo long.
He was already charged..NOT by me but by the police and they also put a no contact order on him that I want removed ASAP.

Can I use a recorded video statement of my 9yr old daughter?

  • Posted on September 11, 2010 at 5:23 am

My 9yr old daughter informed me recently of some really bad things that her grandparents have done while in their care. My husband was at work when she told me everything, so I asked her if it was ok for me to video tape her saying everything all over again so that her father could hear it when he got home and she agreed that it was ok. Now, I’m curious if some of the accusations that were recorded could be used in court if we needed to go that far, or if they wouldn’t accept it and think I may have coerced her into saying what she said? The accusations were not for physical or sexual abuse (as far as I know) but they included information involving drug use in the home, drunk driving, foodstamp fraud and forcing my daughter to attend court with the grandparents in hopes that her being there would make the judge not make the grandpa go to jail for DUI. She states in the video that she was starving, thristy and bored but they forced her to go with them anyway and all this was done without me or my husbands knoweledge. I feel that my daughter was used for their gain and because of that, my daughter was treated as a pawn and her child needs and wants were neglected. Any suggestions? By the way, this happened in TN, and once finding out this info we moved out of state where more jobs are available and were all able to live together rather than in an efficiency in TN which is why my daughter was with her grandparents because we knew DHS could get involved if we were all living in small quarters. Thank you
Thank you for everyone’s input and suggestions…I was thinking that the video probly would’nt hold up in the court if we needed to go that is, but just incase the grandparents try to accuse us of abandoning our daughter because we didn’t have a place big enough where legally we could all stay together. My husband and I didn’t know she had setup the kids on foodstamps and how she was able to do so is beyond us, but she had to have apparently lied in order to be considered for foodstamps in the 1st place. If my husband and I were neglecting our children, then DHS would have been involved right away I’m assuming? I’m not quite sure how that works, guess I’ll just have to talk to them at my appt. And although it may not be illegal to take a child to court (and jail to visit the grandpa….I forgot to mention this happened 3 yrs ago then we allowed them a 2nd chance) but I feel it’s morally wrong. The grandmother should have asked permission, but didn’t…
