Re: GF won't file complaint against BF Felony DUI

More | Report Post

I don't think anyone is basing anything on common aw wife. GF is
just the GF. She briefly moved in with BF then moved out again.
She just refuses to press charges or even acknowledge that his
actions were the cause of her injuries.
So, are you saying that if she won't press charges or testify, then
the state will not press charges? If that is so, then the whole
case should be closed, which it is not. I'm really confused!!
Thank you for any info you can share.
