Re: How to convince State Attorney to drop charges?
They will probably require you to fill out and sign a form to ask that the charges be dropped.
Convincing them to do it is a completely different story. We lawyers spend three years in law school and years in practice learning how to persuade people.
Restraining someone can be a criminal offense, so he may be guilty. Whatever you do, don't lie or you could be charged with filing a false police report, perjury, or some other charge.
