How can I help drop the case of Domestic Violence to my boyfriend?
My boyfriend and I got into an argument it escalated. Cops got involved I didnt press charges nor put a restraining order against him. The state vs. him now and the time I gave my statement there were mis judgments of the event that had happened by my clumsiness. I do not want him to be charge for something that didnt hapeen in no agressive matter nor physical intent. The case has not yet been assigned to a detective who can i talk to in order to help this case out in my boyfriend’s behalf— He his a great man with a clean record.

From what you wrote it seems that the matter is still in the early stages of investigation. If the matter is assigned to a detective you have to be careful to clear up the mis-judgments you spoke about in the statements you already gave. You do not want to appear to have lied to the police. You are the complaining witness unless there are other witnesses to the argument that the police are talking to. Your boyfriend might want to contact an attorney to help clear things up in the early stages of the investigation rather than if something happens and he is arrested.
