Bryan Gates, at I respectfully dissent,
talks about the "no-drop" policy of a prosecutor in a domestic court in NC.
Here in the Commonwealth, I've seen prosecution offices with the same policy. In Richmond Domestic court I once watched as four straight domestic abuse cases came before the bench and the wife refused to testify against her husband. The prosecutor's solution? She had talked to the officers ahead of time and each time, as soon as the judge dismissed the charge against the husband, the officer turned around and arrested the wife for
filing a false report. OUCH.
