Retracting statement

[Rosyrose]

My husband recently got arrested he came to our home drunk and was kicking our door to come in after I told him to go away and sleep it off till the next morning which he didnt agree and carried on shouting and kicking so I called the police . When the police arrived my husband had ran off and after telling the police what had happened they said there wasn't enough to arrest him as there was no damage and nothing done to me and they were going as my husband turned up the police told him to go away for the night but he kept talking rubbish to them and they put him under arrested when they were walking him to the car he quickly moved his elbow and made contact with the police officer so they got him to the floor and a police dog had his leg . He was charged with section 4 and assaulting a police office . His bail conditions are that he carnt contact me or come to our home we have a daughter together who wants to see her dad at her home. He was in court yestaday and it has been adjourned for a bother 4 wks with the same bail conditions and has been told he's looking at a jail term , I want to retract my statement because I never read what was in my statement after seeing my husband bit by a police dog I was all flustered and the police officer said I didn't have to read it also I want retract it because iv bin with him 11 yrs and we have had our troubles but we survived them and he is a completely different person to how he was he stopped drinking for 3 months until this incident and has recently found a full time job after 4 years of no job which made him suffer depression , iv never been in trouble with the police in my life and am scared what wil happen if I retract my statement now and I need the bail conditions lifted as we were moving house to start a fresh together and we av our daughter ,

you can't retract it in the sense you have tried to explain. you have already given a statement which can be used if the cps wish to prosecute him and that is out of both of your control. it sounds like he was quite 'lively' and has assaulted an officer which the police and cps will pursue strongly. as he has been drinking for a while and has had problems, he needs to straighten himself out asap, stop drinking, get support for that and anger management. if he shows he is changing and remorseful for his actions on that night, it will be viewed more favourably in court. he will most probably be convicted and you may be called as a witness in court unless he admits the offence and pleads guilty. it sounds like he needs to grow up, start taking more control over his life and behaviour and pleading guilty if he did assault the officer would be a good start. nothing you do will change this outcome - you also need to deal with the restrictions imposed on your husband and the situation you are now in. trying to retract a statement to 'fix things' will get you nowhere.

contact the officer in charge to retract a statement. It wont make a jot of difference though, he has been arrested for something he did to a police officer, so your statement wont make a difference either way - the police officers are the witnesses and he will have injuries as proof

Thank you for your answers he is ashamed of what he's done and wants help with drinking and anger , he has a violent past but for the past 5,6 yrs he's grown up alot , he is waiting to go back to court nxt month as they have adjourned it for pre sentence reports from probation officers which I'm aware he's goin to ask them for help in getting him in drink and anger help . What wud you say the punishment he wud b looking at
