A: I'm not clear about your question. If you are asking about the affidavits then be aware that they give a prosecutor cover if they otherwise WANT to dismiss the case but they can just ignore them if they want to seek a conviction. In other words, an affidavit of nonprosecution can be an important part of the defense strategy but it shouldn't be the ONLY part... he still needs a competent criminal defense attorney in his corner.
