The fact is that if your girlfriend changes her statement or attempts not to give testimony against you in court, it may not result in having your charges dropped or lowered. While it would be easier to prosecute you with her cooperation, if there is other credible and convincing evidence that you committed the crime, the state may move forward with the case. Typically, prosecutors are aware that defendants can and do try to intimidate their victims into not cooperting. At this point, you should consult directly with a local criminal law attorney. They can best advise you further.
