I am the victim in a domestic violence case and I want to drop charges. How do I do drop charges?
The decision to drop charges in any criminal prosecution can only be made by an Assistant District Attorney, with the approval of a judge. The victim's requests are taken into consideration by the assigned ADA, but the final determination as to whether or not charges will be dismissed rests solely with the District Attorney's Office.
