Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

how much time would I get?

If I pressed charges on someone in a domestic abuse case and the state picked it up and I try to change my story and say that I lied, how much time would I get? Worst case scenario and best case scenario please. Also, I have a felony myself from about 7-8 years ago and a couple of misdemeanors from years ago as well.

Re: how much time would I get?

In New York, the DA may never charge you. They are so busy that they may just dismiss the case. But it is a crime. You probably will end up with propobation.
