Re: crimal charge class c
You should speak with his criminal defense attorney. The reality is that you cannot drop the charges, only the prosecutor has the power to do so. The prosecutor may try to compel you to testify by serving you with a subpoena or may even have you arrested if you fail to cooperate. You may need to retain your own attorney to advise you on your rights.
