Summary
In Oklahoma, the decision to press charges in a domestic altercation case lies with the state, not the victim. Even if the victim wants to drop the charges, the state can still proceed with the case. Its crucial for the accused to fill out a statement for their legal protection, even if the victim wants to drop the charges. However, they can wait to fill out the statement until they have legal representation. Failure to comply with police instructions may lead to complications. Legal representation should be sought for such cases.Full Conversation
