How is a decision made?
A person is charged with a crime or infraction on the basis of probable cause (that is evidence and/or witness testimony that support a charge for an offense) by the police and/or the prosecutor. The police often decide initially what the charges are and the prosecutor either can amend the charges or agree to them, or the charges can be dropped altogether if there is not enough evidence to support them. Charges are filed by the prosecutor by information, called a charging document, or by an indictment from a grand jury.
