If the state does not file charges within 72 hours of an individual's arrest, the person is typically entitled to be released from custody. This time frame is often referred to as the "72-hour rule," which varies by jurisdiction but generally ensures that individuals are not held indefinitely without formal charges. However, the specific legal implications can depend on local laws and circumstances surrounding the arrest. In some cases, the state may seek an extension or may still pursue charges after the 72 hours, but the individual should be released unless there are other legal reasons to hold them.

Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim, Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant. The state can continue to pursue domestic violence charges and prosecution in domestic situations now due to laws adopted after years of battered spouses dropping charges against their abusers because of fear and misguided loyalty.
