If my son-in-law assaulted my daughter but left the scene and a police report was taken, since she now she wants to drop the charges charges can that be done?
He has prior drug convictions and cps is involved for the second time. She also suffered a miscarriage. He is in rehab for 90 days and there has been no warrants issued for his arrest. What is the possibility the DA will not prosecute him. Its been over a month now. Can they just drop it now that my daughter doesn’t want to press charges?

Under the laws of all states in this country, your daughter can request that the criminal charges be dropped against her spouse. However, ultimately it is up to the district attorney's office to dismiss any filed criminal case concerning the matter that you have written about.
