this was for charge of assault. which he and a friend denied saying the accuser lied, the accuser is somewhat disabled and previously threatened the neighbor son due to his relationship with a woman friend. my friend got phone calls from the accuser months ago threatening her son in most violent way,,,I told HER to call the police which she did not do. her son is a lifestyle mess however, he has previous non violent problems with police, huge debt, joblessness, alcohol, no car registration, and other issues. and he didnt show up for court appearance some months ago. so after this accusal he was placed in lockup with bail. and now he is out, next month was supposed to be in court in front of judge….BUT this accuser called my friend a day ago, saying he got a religious message saying he should drop the charges against my friends son. and my friend is pleased??
her son has problems but not violence…and they are out cash and he was in lockup (for him maybe a wakeup call, but)

the accuser did not call the police about the supposed “incident” until a month after the “incident” he never called the cops at the time, never went to doc or hospital,…and the friends son says he lied. shouldnt they INSIST on seeing judge on that appointed court date so this accusation never happens again?
