Q: is there a deadline for the DA to press charges? Will i be notified if case thrown out?
I filed a DV report 3 months ago. No arrests were made. I was told the DA would be in contact with me within a week, never received a call. I called the day after I filed the report to reword my statement that I’mI did not want to testify or move forward with the case.
A:
if you are the victim and want charges to be dropped do not wake a sleeping dog.
if you call another DA might look for it or at it and push the case..........
time is on your side.............misdemeanors are usually filed within a year and felony's 3 yrs
