The only thing you say to the cops when they show up is "lawyer". Don't even bother saying that "I was terrified" or "he threatened to kill my baby". Fake being shellshocked or PTSD'd or w/e if you have to.
Nothing you say will make the cops "go away" or make the situation vanish in a puff of smoke. Focus on NOT saying a damned thing. Focus really really hard on NOT trying to talk you way out of this - its not a speeding ticket.
I was reading and agreeing with both of your core points ... One thing key to remember. Make sure your spouse also knows this, and kids if they are older. Can you imagine them saying something dumb unintentionally.. after saving them... Yikes
