It is completely up to you whether you talk with the prosecutor or not. No one can make you do so and no one can keep you from doing so. You are a witness in the case, not the prosecutor's "client". However, you MUST show up in court if you were served with a subpoena. Without knowing any facts of the case it is hard to say if your talking with the prosecutor woudl help or hurt your husbands' case. You can hire your own lawyer to help you make that decision and to help you with the prosecutor, if you wish.
The prosecutor will make their determineation of how to proceed independent of your wishes.
