An Attleboro District Court judge has rejected a request by Taunton Mayor Shaunna O'Connell to drop the charges against her. 

O'Connell is facing charges that include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for allegedly hitting her husband with a crowbar type tool in July. 

O'Connell submitted an affidavit with her husband Edward indicating they had reconciled and were seeking dismissal of the case.  The judge instead set a trial date of December 12th. 

Edward O'Connell says he will not testify against his wife and regrets calling the police.
