chances of simple assault being reversed?

I know this isn't the place to go to for legal advise..
I'm getting an attorney tomorrow but wanted to ask here..

I got in an argument with a girl the other day, it started with talking..then yelling, on her part..then she came after me.
I ended up subduing her in a headlock and kept yelling stop but she wouldn't
I let her go then her boyfriend came after me with a crowbar
he hid the crowbar and lied about me attacking her,since its 2 against 1...I lose..great laws around here :idontknow:
2 staples in my head, 1 and a half days in jail, and simple assault charges on me against her
the arresting cop told me she had red marks on her arms..

Is there any chance the judge could possibly see the truth here?:crying:

edit: just to be clear here, I never hit her or him, this is just a dumb injustice

Get a lawyer and don't say anything that could incriminate yourself.
The lawyer will know how to handle it.

I'm guessing that if these guys react to verbal arguments with excessive physical force, then this isn't their first run-in with the law. Maybe they'll drop the charges once the reality of court dates and the threat of legal scrutiny draws closer to them. I doubt the police will pursue the matter in a simple assault case if the other party drops it.

If your record is clean, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But even if things do move forward, I don't think simple assault is that big of a deal in the long run. You're not going to jail or prison or anything.
