My fiancé and I had an argument one night and his sister called the cops after he left in his car after driving. The call was supposed to be to get him from driving more, but it turned into an assault thing after I talked to a cop. We had been pushing eachother a bit. I didn't press charges. Apparently the state is still taking him to court. What are the chances of him being found guilty?
