My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
Ok here is a link for a more detailed description of what ive been going through this past 6 days http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/show...859#post736859
the short version.. this past march my wife was arrested for domestic assault and interrupting a 911 call, I was stupid had had them drop the domestic charges as long as she went to counseling. This past Saturday the 24th she got up early or in the middle of the night and took my kids somewhere (I still haven't found out where) and told me that she had been planning to do this since she was arrested and that she wanted me to leave the house.. I was pretty much in shock and still am.. I thought everything was going great between us and we put the arrest behind us.
Since she refused to tell me where the kids were I told her that I was going to call the police, when I started to she walked behind me and hit me on the back of the neck with her keys, causing some fairly serious cuts. I did call the police but she was already gone, the office took pictures of my injury... I got a phone call today from the detective handling my case and was told the prosecutor had declined to prosecute.. My wife's response to the allegations was that I caused the injuries to myself to get her arrested, there of course were no witnesses... I have attempted to call the detective back to make a meeting with her and the prosecutor to find out why nothing was being done but haven't gotten called back...
I was a police officer for almost 10 years so i know that the justice system is partially bias against men, I've seen it before, and I could understand not taking on the case if there were no visible injuries but hell, its a week later and you can still plainly see the cuts.
I wasnt too worried about this because I was to busy trying to get the money together to hire a lawyer to help me get my kids back, if she weren't still on probation for the previous assault she would already have left the state.
What can I do? I've called CPS and my lawyer has filed everything he could (she got served this morning).. I just feel like no one is taking me seriously because I am a guy.. Can I request another detective and prosecutor look at the case? Can media involvement help? I am truly at a loss right now
