about 8 months ago i called 911 to my home after a fight with my husband i was
very upset a screaming on the tape the police came kicked my door down and
arrested my husband which giving the circumstances i understand The police
wanted to know what happened i told them that i had alot to drink and that i
wasn't sure but that i thought that i was sexually assualted or that he may have
tried i was not injured though the police wanted me to go to the hospital and i
refused over and over agin but the officer told me the i had no choice so i went
crying that i didn't want to go when i got there i was asked to write a statment
which i also didn't want to write because i felt as though my memory was fuzzy
at the time and i was feeling sick from all that i had to drink i was told that
they had to have my statment before they would leave and that it didn't have to
be totally right because it was not being used for them to press charges the
police told me something to write and not to forget certain things to write i
didn't even want to sign but the told me that i had to after i signed it they
went on there way and i was there alone later i had to wait almost 2 hours for a
ride later on when the alcohol wore off i began to remember that we had both
wanted to have sex and did with some role playing too and that afterwards he was
drunk and we got into a heated argument in which he was threating me and pulling
my hair so i called 911 he was also threating to slit his own throat now my
husband is charged with all these sex crimes that he didn't commit and nobody
will listen to me because of what i wrote when i was drunk and i didn't even
want to write it at the time nobody bothered to get my stament again whil i was
sober and my memory was good i do feel as though my husband should be punished
because he did hurt and scare me but however he didn't commit a sex crime also
after he was handcuffed he was put in a choke hold and punched in the head who
should i talk to over the way that this case was handled also should i have be
en made to go to the hospital or told that i had to go to the hospital and
should i have been made to write a statment while intoxicated? Thank You so much

Police officers are under no obligation to tell the truth to you. Your attorney can use the fact that you WERE drunk and disoriented when you made the statement and when the incident occurred to assist in "lessening" the detrimental impact of your statements that night.
