Advisal: If the alleged victim wants to drop the charges, this information is vital to the defense.
Effective resolution of the spousal abuse case depends on presenting important evidence to the prosecution about the weaknesses of the investigation and strengths of the defense. A request to the prosecution before the first court date or afterwards to dismiss the case based on new evidence may be effective. Diversion is a strategic process in which a client follows instructions from the judge like counseling and community service that upon completion results in dismissal of the case. The plea bargain is an excellent agreement between the defense, prosecution and judge to dismiss or reduce the charges and avoid time in custody.
