Can charges be dropped if the person pressing them wanted to?

Elizabeth Zwiebel
Answered by attorney Elizabeth Zwiebel
Criminal Law lawyer at The Zwiebel Law Firm, LLC
A person can drop charges for any reason. This does not mean the state or prosecutor will drop the charges. The prosecutor may even go after the victim for filing false reports if that is the case.

Can I fight my criminal charge if I was not read my rights?

Seth David Schraier
Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
Unfortunately, not having your Miranda rights read to you does not overturn your arrest, or bar the district attorney from prosecuting you for the crime charged. For the most part, the failure to be read your Miranda Rights precludes any evidence that was obtained during questioning from being admitted into evidence. If after you were arrested you did not make any statements to the police before being read your Miranda Rights, then there is nothing that can be precluded from being used against you. In addition, under the "fruit of the poisonous tree" rule, if the police find evidence as a result of an interrogation that violates the Miranda rule, that evidence is also inadmissible at trial. For example, if a suspect tells the police where a weapon is hidden and it turns out that the suspect provided this information in response to improper questioning, the police will not be able to use the weapon as evidence unless the police can prove that they would have found the weapon without the suspect's statements. So it appears from your case that the cause for the arrest cannot be precluded based on a failure to be read your Miranda Rights.

Do I still have the right to prosecute if I get paid back?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jennifer Leigh Gottschalk (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Richard Sparaco
Once criminal charges are filed in New Jersey, the prosecutor has to authorize withdrawal of the charges. The prosecutor is more inclined to do that if the victim (you) agree. Otherwise, the case will go forward, even if restitution has been made.
