might need a little more info on this one.... why did she want him in jail n then change her mind? was it only to retaliate against him for something else n she made something up? or did he do something worthy of going to jail that she didnt like n than change her mind cuz she misses him? if u mean "being stupid" as in he beat her up and she thinks its her fault or feels bad that hes in jail, then leave the guy in there. if by "being stupid" u mean she lied n made a false accusation against him and got him jailed , then yes, she is stupid and should pay for what she did, whether that means facing charges of perjury or whatever. she sounds very immature, whatever the case may b and it sounds like theres more to the story than her just being stupid(isnt there always?) and the judge should know b4 the verdict. get in touch with his lawyer, maybe they can help.

She has to agree to be taped, and agree her statements are under penalty of perjury. However, even if she drops the charges and admits her accusations were false, many DA's offices still prosecute the husband/significant other.
Further, by stating under oath she made false statements, causing her significant other to be arrested, she can be arrested for filing a false police report.
It is better if the significant other has his attorney ask for a continuance, until such time your cousin is available for testimony.

You haven't indicated to us what he's being charged with.
If he's being charged with battery, when your cousin doesn't show up at trial the DA will need to drop the case because they can't prove your cousin's baby's daddy did it.
Remember if your cousin's an essential witness, her absence means the DA can't prove the case.

No. The tape won't be admissible at all. If you really feel like you need to do something, go down and give a statement to them. They may or may not be able to use your statement in court, but they CAN use your statement to get other evidence that is admissible.

That will not do much good, he is already there and she should of thought of that before she called the police. Come on, it is the law not high school. They take calls serious, maybe she will learn that they do not mess a round, hard lesson learned.

Just have her go to the district attorney and explain it to him/her.

No. Most judges won't even take notarized statements.
