The state's attorney doesn't like any type of domestic violence and even the best lawyer has a hard time getting the person off the charges unless the spouse uses the spousal privilage so she doesn't have to testify against him.
If she really wants out of the situation, tell her NOT to use her privilage and let the judge fry his butt and ensure she keeps the restaining/protective order against him current.
