Once a police report has been made, the allegations and charges are sent to the District Attorney to determine whether to file charges with the court. The decision to file charges, reduce charges, prosecute a case or dismiss a case is solely at the discretion of the District Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney. If you, the "victim", wishes to have the charges dropped or dismissed, you should talk with the D.A., which it appears you have already done. However, the final decision will be up to the D.A. My advice is to make sure your wife has a good attorney representing her if the D.A. decides to go forward with the charges.
