Answer 1

what do you want to have happen? Do you and you husband have a united view of this?Make you wishes known

Answer 2

in all probability you will both get probation,pay fines and be court ordered to seek counseling

Answer 3

.   You don't need a lawyer if you tell the complete truth.  If you start changing the story to make it sound better (i slipped and the knife accidently touched him) the judge will blast you.  Your husbands prior is a problem, but the truth will set him free. Dress nice, act respectful, and don't get mad at the prosecutor even if his words make you mad. I think you will get no punishment at all; just a warning.  The jails are full.
