- Get a legal counsel to guide you through the process.
Remember, final decision rests with the prosecutor.
im just worried they wont take my accounts into consideration and that this will go to trial. there is no need!!
I understand your concerns. However, decisions about whether a case goes to trial are made by the prosecutor. Your best course of action is to share your perspective with them. Consider seeking legal counsel to navigate through this process.
