i have the same problem...
Sometimes charges can be dropped against someone even after an affidavit has been signed. It will really depend on the charges and city and state.
YOU cannot have the charges dropped by yourself. Such an assault is a crime against the state and only the prosecutor can 'drop' the charges. If you are a reluctant 'complaining witness' speak to the prosecutor about your hesitation to go forward.
yes
Most states have a Statute Of Limitations during which charges can be filed against someone for certain types of crimes. Example, in Maryland you have a year and a day to bring or file charges against someone.
If they violated the law, absolutely!
A statement made by someone against you, if it's a legal statement, will be presented to you and you will have the chance to respond. If there will be charges brought against you, it will be in the form of a subpoena.
nope. you MUST be perfect! (:
Yes.
Question is unclear. What is being asked?
You don't, only a prosecutor can "press" or "drop" charges against someone.
Yes, the charge is known as criminal mischief.
Nobody can press charges against you except the prosecutor, if they decide to pursue the case a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
