My son might plead guilty to an assault charge he didn't do?
I was a witness, I'm his mom, he has priors, been in jail, lots of times. I saw everything and it did NOT happen. I've thought about trying to sabotage the "so-called" witness' character, but that hasn't worked, so short of killing her or assaulting her, what else can I do to help him? He's going to court the end of April. I swear to god, he did not hit or bump this woman. They broke up and she called the cops because he'd fixed her tires for her and threatened to remove them. His priors were for theft (bad and awful, I agree) He had one assault charge. He is mentally disabled. His pro bono lawyer told him if he went to trial he could look at 8 years in prison.
She is also writing to a guy in prison, who stabbed a man to death and stabbed someone else (without killing him). She refuses to stop writing to this person. I printed out a copy of newspaper articles about this killer and gave them to the lawyer. She also thinks she is a witch and can cast spells. She sees a therapist for various mental conditions, yet I'm the non-credible witness?
Even the cop who made out the report said she didn't have any redness or anything to prove any assault. I think they all just want to rail road him. He has panic disorder, ptsd and adhd, himself. He is on medication, too.

Apparently you have no credibility. I can see why.
I think you have done enough for your son at this point. He will probably be better off left to his own devices.

If you do go to court you need to be a credible witness. Don't use vulgar language in front of a judge. Be specific with your answers and avoid phrases with the words "always" or "never". For example you don't want to say "She never tells the truth and is always out to get my son" instead tell a specific story to hurt her credibility such as "In Dec 2010 she was investigated for stealing..." or whatever. Bring any police reports or character witnesses that will hurt her testimony.
