To the best of my knowledge, a prosecutor has sole descretion on what he/she prosecutes. I see no way around it.
So, now I'm wondering, what would happen if one filed a complaint, crimminal, with a judge, prosecutor won't prosecute. What would be the best course of action?
The person asking, wanted to file a complaint for intimidation, a felony. The person who committed the crime, was charged with assault. Prosecutor claims something to the effect, that it would be attempting to punnish for the the same crime. Clearly not! Intimidation, and assault are two different offenses.
I've never thought of this before as I mention, but have posted on a couple of other boards, and thought I would try here as well. Case law would help.
Oh, this is at a county/city level. Victim attempted to file in higher court, and was told by the judge coulnt' do it.
Any suggestions? (Not including hanging, whipping, or the like, LEGAL/LAWFUL suggestions?)

I guess this guy never heard of double jeopardy. If the individual was prosecuted and aquitted, the prosecution cannot charge the person over the same EVENT!
