Re: petition to drop charges
As a matter of law, all criminal proceedings are brought by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You are just the complaining witness. It is entirely up to the prosecutor whether or not to drop the charges. As a rule, this is generally done unless the prosecutor feels that the matter should be pushed. Talk to the prosecutor.
