I testified in front of grand jury as a victim, but now I dont wanna be a part of it anymore. I want to move on with my life and move out of the state. Is it too late to drop charges?

Re: Criminal Law

Only the District Attorney can drop charges. You can still move out of state. You can be subpoened but if you live out of state and it is not a federal prosecution, you cannot be forced back to NY.

Why not speak to the Assistant DA and see if they can dispose of the case before you move. They will probably offer a good plea bargain to get rid of the case if they think they are going to lose your testimony.

Good Luck.
