How do I press charges in a domestic dispute
The real question is how did he get released?…

You cannot expect the legal process to help you if you are not willing to sever the relationship and go after him criminally and civilly. Domestic abuse cases would proceed with vigor if the victims stop protecting their attackers.

They want you to plead guilty and take what they offer which keeps their docket clean and they may remain lazy.
