Can I retract my statement?? And get charges dropped and bail conditions dropped?
Once the report is filed and the person is arrested, the police have no control over the charges. You need to contact the prosecutor on Monday. It is common for abused women to feel remorse, but dropping charges does not solve the problem. Often, it makes it worse once he finds out he can get away with it. It is also common for abusers to intimidate their victims into dropping charges. For these reasons, it is very unlikely they will drop charges or bail conditions related to domestic violence. They will also not retract your statement.
