You could state that at trial on the stand, or you could speak with the prosecutor beforehand to see if they are willing to dismiss the charges.

Can I drop the charges and if I drop the charges and change my statement, can I do it without my mom being present?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by Jeff Fengcheng Yeh (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
There is nothing you can do. Prosecutors will never drop charges just because the victim has had a change of heart/story. The fact is, in 95% of all DV cases the parties reconcile, and prosecutors are well aware of this. He needs a good lawyer.

Can a judge drop a simple marijuana possession charge?

How long can your PO put you away for your 3rd VOP?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
The PO does not "put you away". The PO reports your violation to the court and the judge decides. You have not told me what you are on probation for nor have you said the nature of your prior violations; nor have you said over what period of time those violations were. With three violations, I suspect the judge will order substantial jail time since probation does not seem to be working.... Read More
