Criminal matters are prosecuted on behalf of the People of the State of Maryland by the office of the State's Attorney. The victim's wishes are one consideration among many that the assigned prosecutor will consider, but are not determinative.

I agree. It is impossible to answer this question in a vacuum. In any event, only the States attorney making the offer can answer it. If you want a trial, it is your right. You should secure a lawyer.

A warrant was issues 2018
answered on Oct 25, 2022
Likely that the case is open because there is a warrant, but no activity because it has not been served. It will be active again once the target is arrested.

Fault couldn’t be determined in the accident so it is my belief my car insurance will skyrocket.
answered on Oct 6, 2022
No. You cannot. While a carrier may consider any number of things in setting rates, I think the insured status of another involved driver would be lower on the list of factors.

Sorry to hear of your injury. An employer is required to honor your work restrictions, and if not, you would be entitled to workers' compensation wage benefits.

Has to be more than 1 or 2 people claiming a person made a threat?
answered on Jan 27, 2022
