I'm James Glissan, former cop, former police prosecutor, now defence lawyer. I've sat on all three sides of this. 00:00 Can the victim drop the charges? 00:44 Why you don't control your own case 01:54 Why prosecutors continue anyway 03:31 What happens when you want to withdraw 05:12 You will be subpoenaed 06:11 What happens if they don't show? 08:13 Perjury? Charges? This video is for education and clarity only. It is not legal advice. If you need advice about your own matter, speak to a lawyer in your state. Got a question you want answered?
