A: It frequently happens that an alleged victim will recant and want to drop the charges against the defendant but the District Attorney will not agree. It sound like your husband case has been in the criminal justice system long enough that he already has an attorney representing him. Your husband might want to ask for a copy of his preliminary hearing transcript so that he can get an opinion from another attorney on how to best defend him from this false allegation.
