My boyfriend got into an altercation with my mom's boyfriend. My mom's boyfriend aggravated the situation, and my boyfriend ended up cutting him with a knife he had on his person. Less than four inches, folding knife. I didn't see anything besides my Mom's boyfriend beating up on him pretty badly after he had cut him. I just found out that they issued a subpoena to me, my mom, her boyfriend, and my grandma who were all present. My boyfriend was under (legal) drugs (but a lethal amount) and doesn't remember the incident. He is a drug addict, addicted to drugs doctors give him. He is currently being held in jail, until his court apperance on Friday.
I am not going to testify AGAINST him, neither will my mother or her boyfriend, but I doubt she will say that he boyfriend aggravated the incident, out of fear he will be put into jail. Can everyone refuse to say anything?
My boyfriend pleaded "Not Guilty" by reason of self-defense. Any help or counseling on this is appreciated.
