Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Terroristic Threats---Cobb County
Can a District Attorney prosecute a claim if the plaintiff does not really remember what was said during the actual threat that was a year ago? Can the acutal 911 call be used as testimony to prosecute? There are no witnesses to the actual threat it was over the phone but he was arrested anyway. We are not together and no more threats have been made---I would really like to clear this from his record as he is a good guy with no previous trouble. What can I do to have this dismissed? They have offered the 1st offenders program to him but to my understanding this will still show on his record and he will still have to plead guilty to a felony.

The prosecutor has authority to decide whether to prosecute regardless of the victim's testimony.
