The decision on whether or not a crime has been committed and whether or not the

perpetrator should be prosecuted is a law enforcement function, at the sound discretion

If your question is whether or not the manager at the gas station is civilly liable

to pay damages to your husband for the tort of assault and battery is a question

best directed to an attorney who handles tort cases.
