QUESTION
Can he still do time if I want to drop the charges?
Asked on Mar 18th, 2017 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
I called the cops on boyfriend who is undocumented and I told the police officer that he held me down with his foot on my face. He wouldn't let me up for 3 seconds. I just have a scratch on my arm. Now, I want to drop the charges because he was wanting to leave that’s all. I was holding him back. This is his first time with this issue. What can happen to him? He also has DUI and violated probation.

It doesn't work like that. 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.
