Changing My Witness Statement

[km123]

Hi,

My boyfriend has been charged with one count of public nuisance and 3 counts of common assault against me.

I initially said in my statement that he assaulted me, however I did not mention that I had hit him first on all 3 separate occasions. What would happen to me if I were to update my statement to reflect this?

So far he has gone to the magistrate’s court and pleaded not guilty at which point he was given bail, he was also sent to the crown court for the public nuisance and the court was adjourned, he has been on bail for about a month now and he has another hearing at the crown court in about a week.

Thanks in advance

I expect one of Answerbank's legal eagles will be along shortly to advise you. Wondering why you have changed your mind - remorse or conscience perhaps.

Km123, it might have been better to add this to your earlier post, on the same subject - that'd keep all the information and all the replies, together.

Then my advice I gave in the first post stands. Go to the police and make a statement correcting the first.

Just out of curiosity, why did you omit this somewhat ital information when you first made a statement? Have an answer ready because the police will ask you just that.
