You can't "press charges." You can report the matter to law enforcement. They will make the decision if charges are appropriate.

Yes, they can force you to testify via a subpoena. A warrant can be issued if you do not show up to testify. It is impossible for anyone on here to answer intelligently whether the case would be dropped if you fail to show or don't testify. The prosecutor makes that decision and the... View More
Do not want to testify if I am subpoenaed and would like to know what options I have.
answered on Apr 26, 2021
Typically a subpoena needs to be served on your personally or to another adult residing at your home.
I do not want to testify I do not want this case to happen but I don't know what I can do to get it dropped.

You can attempt to plead the fifth. But ultimately, you will likely be given immunity which means that you no longer have a fifth amendment right to remain silent. As a result, you could be held in contempt if you refuse to testify. Being held in contempt would likely mean that you would be held... View More
I feel I was miss understood by the police and because I was miss understood my ex is being charged with something he didn't do.

You can't certainly contact either law enforcement or the prosecutor to address this issue. In all likelihood, your initial statement to law enforcement was audio recorded, and perhaps video taped as well via a body cam. So there should be an accurate recording of your statement. You... View More

It is your obligation to leave immediately if you see the protected party whether you expect to see her or not. It sounds like you attempted to do that. Get an attorney on board immediately to fight this.

You should report any criminal activity to police. For a civil lawsuit, you should consult directly with a personal injury attorney.

This question isn’t very clear. I’d suggesting calling someone on Monday about this issue. Or follow up with a more specific question.

There is no way to answer this question given the information in this question. I understand that this is your recitation of what occurred in the trial.

The statute of limitations refers to the period of time between a criminal act and the filing of a charge.
If you are talking about enhanceability there is often a period of time after which a prior conviction can no longer be used.

Whether your fiancé is charged is out of your hands. That will be a decision for the prosecutor to make. You can let the prosecutor know what you want, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t be charged.

Once the police are called the victim is no longer in charge of whether charges are pressed. If you have been charged with a crime you need to contact an attorney right away.

It sounds like there is a possibility of charges for harassment, stalking, unwanted phone calls, etc. If you wanted to pursue charges the avenue would be to report it to police.

An individual doesn't "put charges" on anyone. You can certainly report the matter to law enforcement. Whether this individual will be charged depends on whether there are any orders that prohibit contact such as a DANCO or an OFP. He could be charged if there are such orders... View More

I would suggest that your daughter contact the county attorney for the county where this occurred. That office should be able to answer your specific questions about why the suspect was released. It is impossible to know without more information what occurred here.

It's been six months since he missed court. The likelihood that the warrants would be dismissed under the circumstances without him at least having to turn himself in is non-existent.
