I just have a few questions and need to know what i can do if anything?
Hello Hannah, I'd be happy to help with your legal concerns. Could you please tell me more about the situation you're facing? Additionally, could you please let me know your location as laws can vary depending on the region?
My boyfriend at the time, he just got sentenced to 120 months for domestic violence and assault against me. He plead guilty to some of it even though he didnt do it because he felt there was no choice since no one was believing him due to his past record. Also the two statements i gave that night. And i tried to fix it but also still was not fully truthful due to fear of getting myself in trouble. But my guilt is eating me up and he does not deserve to be in prison because i was angry and scared of him leaving me..what can i do?
