What can I do if my husband is being charged with aggravated assault against me?
How should I deal with the prosecutor in order to help my husband? The prosecutor is very hard to deal with and is not in any means willing to lessen the punishment. Is keep trying to communicate with the prosecutor a better way or simply don’t talk to her at all will be better? I am afraid of being tricked but I am also terrified that she is ruin my husband’s life forever.

If you are the victim in this matter, you have to realize that the prosecutor has the right to not only charge your husband in accordance with the law, but the criminal penalties for the charges your husband face are mandated by law as well. In domestic violence situations, the prosecutor will often consult the victim to determine the extent of the penalties they will seek (I.e probation, jail, prison), but they are not always required to do so. Still attempt to speak to prosecutor in hopes they will take your perspective into consideration.
