Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina
Criminal Domestic Violence
How can I get my CDV charge
dismissed. I'm in Spartanburg,
South Carolina. My wife is not
pressing charges nor did she write
anything at the time of my arrest. I
don't have a job; I have no income
what-so-ever and the PD office is
demanding I pay a fee in order to
receive counsel.

Re: Criminal Domestic Violence
The victim of a CDV does not "press charges," in South Carolina. Its up to the state to prosecute. In order to get a case dismissed there must be a legal reason for it, such as Lack of Evidence, lack of Probable Cause, etc. If you are represented by the Public Defenders Office, then you have competent counsel and you would be best served by posing your questions to them.
