My question involves criminal law for the state of: Louisiana
The state of Louisiana pressed charges against me for Domestic Abuse, when my boyfriend and I had gotten into a fight, someone called the police from next door, and the police arrested me, because they said that I was "changing my story and they had to take someone to jail" No charges were pressed against my boyfriend, and it's not like the fight was all me just going crazy. I went to 'court' which was not court at all, they sent me to the DA's office, where they gave me a piece of paper to sign for a first time offender, in which I had to agree to pay fines and take an anger management class. I want to press counter charges on him, because I don't think it's right that the police can just choose who they are going to charge, and spare the other person that was just as much involved. Is it too late for me to do so? I hadn't read the statements that the police gathered that night, but now I was told what they say, and his story is false against me, so I'm convicted of Domestic Abuse and Battery, because of a false statement, and when they collected my statement, it was about 5 seconds after the fight, and I was so upset that I didn't want to talk about it at all, (especially not to 5 male officers with flashlights in my face) so what they got from me isn't very much, and doesn't tell what really happened... which in short is, I fell asleep, he tried to wake me up to have sex with me, I told him no, he jerked me out of bed, and threw me accross the room, screaming at me about anything he could think of, none of which registered to me at all at the time, and I still don't remember what he was saying, so I slapped him open handed on the cheek and told him to leave me alone, and he pushed me against the wall and held me in place by my arms, and I tried to get away from him, he told me to hit him, so I did, and he threw me accross the room again, and told me to get my stuff and move out. I ripped all my drawers out of my dresser and started pulling out my clothes, there were drawers and clothes slung all in the room (which I did) and then I started to walk out the door, and I was met on the stairs of the apartment by 5 male police officers, that wouldn't let me by, and I couldn't even stop crying to talk to them, so they just went to get his story. In his statement it says that I woke him up from a dead sleep by punching him in the face, and he pushed me in self defense, and I got upset and threw my drawers at him............. so that is why they took me to jail. I was unaware at the time what his statement said, until after I went to the DA's office for my conviction. I didn't want to get him in any trouble, I thought maybe I just had bad luck, and that's why I was the one that was taken to jail, that and they said "we have to take someone to jail." Now that I know what his statement says, and know why I have all these fines and classes to take, I don't believe it's right at all for him to get away with it, if it is a mutual fight, and he was more aggressive than I was, it seems to me, if I must have the charges, then he should have also been charged. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
