No it is not all completely unnecessary. When someone has been physically abused, battered, like this, you call the cops and they are taken away to jail. You knew this, and there is no going back on what you said without perhaps subjecting yourself to being arrested for filing a false police report. These cases are always difficult to deal with, but I have done so many that it has become a second nature to defend people charged like this. What you need to do more than anything else is make sure that he has a great attorney who loves to fight in court. There will probably be a no contact order, and that can most likely be modified to a no violent contact order. But if he does not have an attorney who likes to fight in court, his chances of being branded for the rest of his life greatly increase. Good luck, and get him an attorney like me who just loves to fight cases like this.
