The District AttorneyÕs office can press charges against a person if they have enough evidence of a crime. A person can press charges against a person if they have been violated in a legal sense.
You can get a District Attorney to press perjury charges but you have to report the person to the office. If you call or go to the DA's office, they will instruct you how to proceed.
"charges against them" indicates that the answer is the "defendant".
"People" don't press charges. The State (in the form of the prosecutor's office) presses charges. If the complainant in the offense you are being charged with is currently in prison, does not mean that you he can't be a witness against you in the offense you allegedly committed against him.
does criminal law provide for charges to be brought by thegovernment against a person
yes you can because it is known as assult Another View: No, you can't. The offense IS known as ASSAULT, but YOU can not "press charges." Only the prosecutor's office has the power to "press charges." The most you can do is report the assault to law enforcement for their action, or IF this procedure is applicable in your state, appear before a Magistrate and swear out a complaint against the person.
Tampering with the mail is a federal offense. If you know of someone who has been tampering with your mail, contact the postal office. They can have charges filed against the person.
Yes you do. If you press charges, you have to go to court with that person. Therefore that person becomes the defendant and you are the plaintiff.Added: INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS CANNOT 'PRESS CHARGES'AGAINST ANYONE! The most you can do is file a complaintagainst someone with either the police or the prosecutor's office. In the case of the police, they may conduct an investigation into a ccomplaint of a criminal nature - in the case of the prosecutor's office they may issue a summons to that person to come in for a hearing into your allegation against them. IF the police investigation or the prosecutors hearing sustains your complaint of criminal activity, the prosecutor's office will FILE CHARGES against them in court. You WILL be required to appear to give testimony as the complainant (i.e.: complaining witness).

When a person commits perjury in any court, including family court, the DA will being charges. In some cases, the judge will bring the charges against the person and sentence the person to jail.
Not true, here in California I bail out people who get the charges dropped sometimes before their first court appearance. So this person now does not have to appear.or, the person is arrested, bailed out, and then no charges are filed. Quite common actually.AnswerNo. The accused will have to make an appearance regardless of whether the prosecutor's office requests the charges to be dismissed.Charges can only be dismissed by the prosecutor with the consent of the presiding judge.
Individuals cannot "take out charges' or "file charges" against anyone. Only a prosecutor may do these things. You must first report the offense to law enforcement who will then invistigate and if the suspect named in your report is found to be valid, they will then arrest that person. When that person is presented in court, the prosecutor will then file charges against them.
