Post: Deferred Prosecution Agreement (domestic violence)

Posted by H on 11/17/07

I called the police after my fiance hit me and then held a
knife to his wrist the other night. He was arrested and
issued a no-contact order for 72 hours. The 72 hours are
up come tonight (Saturday), and he doesn't go to court
again until Monday at which time we're doing a Deferred
Prosecution Agreement so that hopefully he'll agree and
get the mental health help he needs & avoid being
prosecuted for domestic violence. Is it stupid on my part
to contact him on Sunday (while there isn't a no-contact
order) to help him realize how much it would help him if
he agrees? If I did contact him, would that be something
that he could bring up in court on Monday and have a
negative effect on the outcome IF he refuses help and I
actually have to go to court to testify against him? Help?
quick.
