    Did you go immediately to the hospital?
    If not can (would) your family claim you have mental issues?

    Hello t:

    Your lawyer is the District Attorney, and he has all the money he needs to prosecute this case. Sure you have a chance... A pretty good chance.

    Here's the good news. If he's convicted in criminal court, and you sue him for damages in civil court, you'll automatically WIN.
