More than one person can be in care, custody, and control of an item, and the police do not have to believe others' claims anyway. So, yes.

What should I expect on trial for my 3rd Domestic assault?

In GA, until January of 2014, the biggest roadblock you will probably face is that District Attorney will be able to introduce your prior convictions for Domestic Violence into evidence against you. In a trial, if the jury is wavering, prior convictions can sometimes push them in the wrong direction. Also, the ADA will try to make your girlfriend seem like she is changing her story to protect you, and therefore the jury shouldn't believe her testimony, if it conflicts too much with what she said that night. If you were pushing each other at the same time, technically a battery was committed by both parties because battery is any offensive touching not just hitting or punching of some sort. I once had a client charged with simple battery because she spit on someone. However, there are obviously a lot of things and facts about your case that I am not aware of, and I'm sure your attorney would not have told you that you have a good chance of beating it unless he/she wasn't convinced. Also, I'm not sure which state you are in and the rules about the ADA being able to introduce your priors into evidence may be different where you live. If so, then this will make a big difference.
