Explain The Domestic Violence Charge

Dear Ms. Brill, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to explain the domestic violence charge. It was in result to defending myself from my former fiance whom had beat me a threw me down a flight of stairs. I picked up an object and threw it in his direction to keep him off me. When the sheriff's arrived I was placed arrest and detained for four hours, later released and appeared before a judge in 3/2012 and the case was closed.
