Jake is robust on element! In manhattan as quickly as the guy is arrested quotes can't be dropped by potential of all people yet they are able to be brushed aside by potential of the prosecutor! Our community prepare is that the DA wont push aside till the complainant admits the charges have been fake before everything...and then had the complainant arrested for submitting a faux checklist! ethical of the story is think of previously you act and dont use the criminal justice gadget as a potential of leveling the combat!

Yes, of course...I'm not a Lawyer, but if She initially filed the charge She can easily contact the Police Dept. involved and request that the charges be dropped. The question really is why? I mean if he hurt you or your friend maybe he is where he belongs. Think about this carefully. The restraining order is a separate matter and stands as long as you or your friend wishes it to be.
You didn't give details on the exact charge, but phisical or mental abuse is unforgivable.

Not in North Carolina, once a domestic violence charge has been filed, it can not be dropped. It may be different where you are from. My ex girlfriend filed false charges against me and was unable to drop them. I plead not guilty and wanted to fight the charges. The judge took a warrant out for her because she didn't show up in court. The charges were eventually dismissed by the D.A. after a deferment.

In many states a family abuse or assault charge is begun by the victim. However, the state will take up the charge and only they can drop it. You can bail the person out of jail but the charge will usually stand. It depends on the laws of your particular state.

Depends on how severe the charges are and how much evidence the state has without your co-operation.

usually NO. the charges are picked up by the state prosecutors office. and they wont let go until they have a conviction and have sucked as much money out of him as humanly possible.

the police can still charge the person on their own if they feel they have the evidence to.

it seems that these days that is not possible. The "state" has more authority and power than the individual who put these people in power.
