My wife was charge with misdemeanor battery. This followed an altercation between her and I. She has bipolar disorder. During the altercation she had bitten me in self defense after i had trapped her in a corner while verbally accosting her. She then called the police because she wanted the situation to stop. The police ended up taking her away. I told them i did not want to press charges. A couple days later my wife was charged with misdemeanor battery. I have recently received a subpoena to testify against her. I do not want to. I have asked the DA to drop charges and they have refused to do so.
Do i have to testify against her? Can she be prosecuted without my testimony? How can i get them to drop the charge? This action will cause my wife and i harm mentally and financially.
