I just spoke with the DeKalb magistrate and was told that it is possible to drop simple battery charges as long as you do it BEFORE the hearing date.

You cannot drop charges. The state presses and/or drops criminal charges.
If you are not being represented by an attorney, you simply go to the courthouse and tell them you want the charges dropped. There should not be any fees involved with this.
The prosecutor may choose to amend the charges to a misdemeanor in exchange for a guilty plea if the facts and history are right.
the person who filed the charges can drop them, the judge can drop them, or the police can drop them.Another View: Once the defendant is charged by law enforcement or the prosecutor's office ONLY the prosecutorcan make that decision.
just let the police know. Answer Go to the particular police that charges were filed with and tell them that you would like to drop the charges. If the person has other offenses, sometimes the police will not drop the charges even though you want to...such as assault, domestic violence, etc. They can take over at some point and it will not matter if you wish to drop charges. If it is an isolated incident, usually they will drop the charges at your request. It depends on the situation, the police agency.

Yes, a corroded battery can cause an intermittent voltage drop.

No. Private citizens do not have the right to "press" or "drop" criminal charges. If the crime has been reported to the police, the prosecuting attorney's office then has the sole ability to decide whether or not to pursue the charges.
yes you can
