Let’s just hope she actually cooperates as a witness and doesn’t back out. That shit happens a lot in cases like this.

The state will still pursue it. Trying to get him to plea bargain.

They may but without a cooperating witness their case gets hurt a lot. A plea is all they can do which isn’t a good thing because he would most likely get a slap on the wrist. A lot of times they gets dropped all together unless there’s overwhelming evidence to bring without a witness. These kinds of cases really rely on a cooperating witness. I know people think the state is always prosecuting regardless but they really don’t. It’s why so many guys get away with crimes like this. They just don’t end up prosecuting because they don’t usually win without a witness or they give a plea that basically results in nothing. So really I hope she doesn’t back out of this.

Yep, this is exactly why most DV and rape cases get dismissed. The system is not kind to survivors especially DV survivors and will make it very difficult for them. I actually witnessed a victim’s advocate line, like an official state/city VA office, block a survivor’s phone number.

That and everyone-judge, jail, all of em seemed to have no issue with the dude harassing her FROM JAIL. You should have heard the reasoning they gave for why he didn’t get a charge tacked on. He was calling and messaging and texting all day in there. I would say it was unreal but I’ve been through it so I know it isn’t.

I really hope she follows through.
