on april 28th my wife and I slit up! she had been very
phisically and verbally ubusive to me that day and i
packed a feew bags and left her home(owned by her before
the marriage) and went to stay at my house(ownned by me
before the merriage)for safety and because i was just
tired of the physical anf verbal abuse...she had
threatened to kill me and herself and it was time for
a "time out"!I asked her to not bother me there and she
agreed and at 9:56pm i got this email form her: "dont
worry,i wont be coming there...ever
you dont ever have to worry about me bothering you ,
it just dawned on me,you moved there tonite on your own.
whatever?(i have this email). ok approx 10-15 minutes
later she was kicking on the door and creating a
distubance...I could not call the law,because i did not
have a phoone at this address,so I cracked the door...to
try to get her to cool it and she rammed the door and
forced entry..while on her way in ,full force, she landed
in a pile of woodworking tools and jumped up and claimed
she was going to kill herself...ran out and said she was
pressing charges on me for assault! about 30 minutes
latter the police officer came by and said she pressed
charges and i told him what happened(what i just told you)
and he said that I would probably be severed within the
next day or so as the jusdge signed the papers!(note ,I
have never abused or been accused of abusing a women in my
life).so,I called the police office on friday to see if
there was a warrant...they told me to call back monday..as
they were changeing judges and papers hadn't been signed
yet!so I called back on monday and they daid yes...come
turn myself in! i did and was booked,finger printed,tok
picture,and locked up for an hour or so,even though i had
already called a bondsman and paid the bond at the front
dsk! then he let me out and had me sign a stack of papers
that was to do with my personal property,etc,(but actually
I don't have a clue waht I signed)something about medical
history and initaled more papers! anyway,they set a court
day for the following thursday and when I appeare I wasn't
asked anything but how i wanted to plead(and of course I
plead not guilty) but my wife was allowed to go on and on
about the alleged abuse!after I pleaded not guilty,the
judge then said I could not anything as I had already
pleaded not guilty!SO,now I have anew court date and asked
the judge to appoint me a lawyer as I could not afford one
and he said no!he sked if I owned a house and I said yes
and he said that I could not be appointed a lawyer,but
advises that I should have one for court and then he went
on to say...or don't have one! I was a pleasant as I could
be and was not arrogant or anything,but feel like I don't
have a chance in that court!It is my wifes hometown where
everybody knows everybody!her folks have connections here
and I really think,I've been judged already!when i turned
myself in,i did not admit wrong (as i was not in the
wrong) and wased booked,looked up,etc and was not read my
rights!could i have signed my rights and not been read
them? what should i do about all of this!my wife has a
history of violence and has broken windows out of my house
previously and i called the law,but didn't press charges
and just asked the law to make here stay away..and she got
in a scrape with the officer and they took here to jail
for soime charge,but since she has connections,she was
realesed a few hours later and didn;t even have to go to
court! HELP!
