    Let’s all give the 5 actual reasons.
    If it’s civil and the person owns nothing has no savings and there isn’t anything to take, that would be the reason lol.
    Also, if the person is rich and has basically paid their way out of it.
    If they are family to the DA or Judge or whatever.
    Those are some reasons I believe it to be.
    I mean, if an innocent person is prosecuted and that person wins, there should be an immediate, without litigation, amount of money won to that party esp when there was insufficient evidence.

    If you got arrested and your public arrest record shows a charge of why you were arrested, does that mean you have been charged? Plus, if you went to an arraignment, doesn’t that mean you were charged? When they decide if they’re going to make you post bale or not.

      This might be too late but the rules of court procedure (tends to be standard 72 hours but my vary by locality) say that a prosecutor has a certain time to articulate a charge. I was once charged in Colorado with a charge that had multiple subsections. The Prosecutor failed to articulate which subsection the charges applied to me. This unduly burdens the defense with having to work up a defense against all the subsections. The case was dismissed.

    Why a prosecutor does not file a charge. 1) Lack of Evidence, 2) Relies on Lay Witnesses who are not available, 3) Witness is uncooperative, 4) diminimus or too old, 5) too busy.

    If a prosecutor declines to charge and they enter it in, can they go back and change their mind? Or in the first example, if they had all their evidence and didn’t have enough, this is the only time where they might not be able to change their mind because they had everything available? or does it need to also be like declined to charge with prejudice?

    Well the prosecutor decided to charge me even tho in the police affidavit it stated they found “no evidence of criminal activity.” And at arraignment the judge stated he almost couldn’t find probable cause and that it seems to be a weak case. My lawyer already told the judge exactly the motions she plans to file. Doesn’t seem like a knockout case for the DA. Smh

      If you are accused of a crime and the police have witness statements that say you didn’t do it would the case even be brought. The accuser is the only one saying something happened but all the witnesses present said the accused didn’t do it and wrote statements to the fact. There was no additional evidence obtained by the police. I think that’s straightforward enough right?

      Bare in mind there is statue of limitations. The real question always why they really accusing is there a witch hunt ? There such a thing as malicious prosecution.
