My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas
My husband is charged with 3rd degree battery. This is his first offense of anything ever. My question is What do you think they will sentence him to and can I be forced to testify against him? No pun intended but I don't want anymore blood on my hands. They have plenty of evidence to do whatever they want to do without my testimony.
Also, I am on probation and he is trying to throw me under the bus for drinking the night before the incident by "telling on me". If he does that I will go to prison and our children will go to foster care. Do I need to lawyer up and if so are there any pro bono lawyers for such things?
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
