If you were charged with a felony assault and the charges were dropped, you do not have a criminal record. The charges can be picked up by the state at a later date.
This is known as a downfiling of charges from a felony to a misdemeanor, and the case transferred to its respective court.
An assault committed upon your 'significant other' is Domestic Violence. The likliehood of that being dropped is slim to none.
Going ONLY on the information disclosed in the question - -It is stated the criminal assault charges were dropped, but no mention is made of the the no-contact order being lifted.Even if the assault charge was dropped - if the no-contact order was not lifted you may NOT go home and/or contact your partner.
Answernot for a job but it will always be on your federal record.at seven years it clears
state can pick up the charge if they want.
Yes, if they have proven it tho...
An assault case in the UK is The State vs The Accused, and while charges can be dropped at the request of the victim, it's not automatic. Depending on the circumstances (if the attacker was armed, whether the attack was premeditated) the state might ignore the wishes of the victim.
what is the difference between 1st, 2nd,and 3rd degree assault
Depends on your state laws and many other factors. Consult a lawyer.
If your husband was arrested for a battery-domestic charge and an onsite police report was taken and it was false, you can fight it in court. This will be the only way to get the charges dropped depending on what state you are in.
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.
