My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
My husband was arrested after we got into a really bad argument. At the time of the incident we were arguing which led to us getting really upset. When the police came they asked me what happened, and I told them that we got into and argument in the car which led to him slapping me in the car. We got out of the car I told him to get his stuff and get out. At the time I had the phone, he cAme in the house looking for the phone, and I thought he picked up two knives, and I was having a really bad anxiety attack. I gave my friend the phone and told her to call the police so she went in the room and called the police, while my husband broke the door down looking for the phone. We both told the police he had the knife in his hand when he broke the door. He was taken away, and charged with domestic battery, and two accounts of aggravated battery. they took him to jail, and he spent ten days there. As I remembered back to the incident he did not have the knives in his hand, and my friend said he didn't either. We were all just really upset at the time, and I have a bad anxiety problem which I am being treated for. She had to leave back to her home town, so she wrote a letter saying that she wanted to drop the charges, and that there were no weapons used, and we got it stamped by the notary. Now what I want to know Is I am gonna drop the charges to this case, and tell them that he did not have the knife. What will happen from here we have court on in 3 days. Will he go back to jail. Please send me a detailed opinion of what you think will happen, and what is the best advie you can give me. This is his first offense.
Thank you
