Best Answer

Often the prosecutor would call before court to determine how best to question the victim and to determine how the victim will present themselves in court. The prosecutor might also call to get the victim's input on a plea bargain or settlement offer.

Since the prosecutor is representing the interest of the victim, they may wish to talk for any number of reasons.

How can a victim prosecutor role be ended?

Answer The person in the "prosecutor" role needs to take the necessary steps to end this type relationship since the "prosecutor" probably created this "victim prosecutor" role. I'm sure the "victim" would appreciate it tremendously. Also, if the victim is a smart person and a good person and realizes that maybe he/she, innocent as it could have been, possibly unknowingly helped to create this role, will help to end it if both parties can acknowledge that they are sorry for what happened to create this role. It can be easy if both people want it!!!


Can the victim of aggravated menacing drop the charges?

Is it possible in the US for a complainant plaintiff or State witness in a criminal case to withdraw the charges or case against the defendant?

The person who was the victim of or witness to a criminal act is technically the complainant for the State's case. The victim becomes the State's witness, not a plaintiff. As such, it is not the victim's case, but the prosecutor's case. The prosecutor does not--and should not--just drop charges because a victim asks for the charges to be dropped. In addition, because the victim and witnesses are the State's witnesses, the Court can compel you to appear and testify. A victim cannot withdraw the original complaint, nor impede a court case. The prosecutor's staff will help a nervous or fearful witness to testify. But only the prosecutor can decide whether to offer lesser charges in a "plea deal"; prosecutors do not need the victim's permission to allow the defendant to plea, but the victim might be consulted if the deal means significantly less prison time. So the answer to your question is No, a victim cannot withdraw charges especially once the prosecutor already has the case.
