Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
Felony assualt charges.
If a person has been charged with a misdemeanor assualt charge and now has been upped to a felony charge, is this because the party assaulted has not dropped the charges or can the state pursue it?

the state does what the state wants to do.

Quite probably the injuries suffered by the complainant are more severe than originally thought.
Re: Felony assualt charges.
The charge may be raised at the discretion of the DA depending on the severity of the injury. Once a complaint is filed the DA may pursue it even if the witness does not wish to continue.
