Q. Husband was assaulted & filed charges, he had video of the assault & 5 witnesses, but Prosecutor dismissed case….

A: The prosecutor has the ultimate discretion when to dismiss (nolle pros.) a charge. They often choose to do this when there are two parties that have filed charges against each other because each defendant would have a 5th Amendment right to remain silent, and therefore the State could not compel either defendant to testify.
