Re: assault charges drop info dropped please help
Simply, yes the state can still bring the charges even if the alleged victim asks them to drop the case. So, you're just going to have to wait and see what happens. Whether or not the state keeps the charges is really on a case-by-case basis taking a number of things into account.
