I did grab a knife and follow him out to the garage, where eventually I gave up and tossed the knife against a wall and went inside.He is not testifying or pressing charges and is strongly in support of me,however the state's attorney is planning to prosecute. I made the mistake of giving a statement to the military police on the military base where we live. That cop did go down a list of right before I gave my statement. Since I am a civilian, they had to call the civilian police in. The civilian police came in and asked me to give a brief statement and I did, but I don't recall him reading me my miranda rights. He just made it seem like I needed to give a statment. After I gave my statment, I was arrested. This is my first offense and I have no priors. I am not a violent person and can give many character witnesses. How likely is it that I will get out of serving jail time, in favor of probation, mandatory anger management, counseling, etc.? FYI, we live in the state of South Dakota
