CHECKMATE
State should have picked up the assault charge...the state can pick up an assault charge because assault is a crime against society, not just the victim...The decision to prosecute lies with the prosecutor or district attorney, who decides whether to pursue the case, even if the victim doesn't want to press charges or wants to drop them!
- Crime Against Society:
When a crime like assault occurs, it's considered an offense against the community or society as a whole, and the state has an interest in prosecuting it.
