Q: My sons and another female were involved in a crime. The witness stated my two sons robbed him and female assaulted him.
The female while victim was on ground had foot on victim's neck and hit victim with a bat but was never charged questioned or asked to be identified by victim. This was presented in court but my sons went to prison.my sons have to pay restitution but the female involved has gotten no punishment or does not not have to pay restitution to the victim. I would like to know what legal recourse we have in this sutuation and hiw can i file a complaint in this matrer.
A: I am sorry to say there is no recourse. You have no standing to make any kind of claim. The DA has prosecutorial discretion when it comes to criminal filings. Sorry...
