Question: Can a significant other drop charges of Aggravated Assault, battery, Theft by taking, false imprisonment without DA prosecution?

If the significant other decides to drop all charges and not to testify in court for the Defense Attorney, can they drop all charges since there is no witness to stand trial. However there is a witness statement, and pictures of bruises from the victim in the police report at the time of the incident. In addition the property was returned shortly after the incident and police report.

Answer: It is the DA who decides to drop, or not drop, charges. Yes, they can protect victims who try to avoid testifying, whether it is because of threats or just poor judgment. They may also find that they are compelled to testify.
