I had to call the cops on my boyfriend and the officer that came to my house and the commonwealth attorney decided to press charges on him, and now I am trying to find a way to get them dropped since I was not the one who wanted the assalt and battery charges pressed in the first place. I talked to the commonwealth attorney and was told that the decision to drop the charges was not mine to make that only they could decide to drop all charges and would get back to me to let me know, but instead the issued a supeana for me to show up in court to testify against him. Please help me to find a way to get these charges dropped. He is a good man and has three beautiful children to take care of and a mother that is on her death bed fighting for her life they all need him to be here for them and not locked up in jail.

I grew up with an abusive step-father (although he was only abusive when he was drunk, but that was A LOT and he refused to seek help). I watched my mother ‘drop charges’ so many times it wasn’t funny. And every time he *did it again* THANK GOD women no longer have the option of ‘dropping the charges’.
If he were such a ‘good man’ you wouldn’t have had to call the police on him in the first place.
He committed a crime. When a person commits a crime they have to face the consequences.

make a statement for the district attorney that you would like to drop the charges and talk with his lawyer, make sure you have a copy too, and refuse to testify against him if you are the victim. sad to hear about that, but if you are the victim and wanted the charges to be dropped i don't understand why he is being held, good luck, im sure someone has answers too.

I don't know where you are exactly, but usually in north america the state has the option of pressing charges on its own, they don't need you to press them.
Short answer, you probably can't help him.

The kids and his mother need him to be there, so he shouldn't get in trouble......
Sounds like we want someone to not have to take responsibility for their actions. If he knew he had people who depended on him, then he should've made some better decisions.
