It is pretty common that "domestic violence" victims change their story, so I doubt the police or prosecutor will believe the new story. It also may not change much anyway as the statutes for assault and kidnapping are very broad. To have the most impact, you should hire your own lawyer, independent of your boyfriends, to see if they can have more productive communications with the prosecutors about the case. If you cannot do that, you can cooperate with your boyfriends lawyer and that might help some in the ultimate outcome of your boyfriends case.
