The Truth About Dropping Charges

A frequent misconception is that a victim or accuser can simply drop the charges to end a case. In reality, once the police are involved and a report is filed, the decision to proceed rests with the state prosecutor, not the individual. While a witness's willingness to cooperate is a significant factor, the state can choose to move forward even if the accuser changes their mind. This is why you cannot rely on personal relationships to resolve a legal matter.

Contacting James E. Kee & Associates allows you to build a defense based on the law and the facts, regardless of whether a witness is cooperative.
