i was physically assaulted by my sister in law,she cut my brow open and i got a large black eye. i live in canada, this happened in december of 2007, i told the investigating officer that i wanted to press charges, went in and did my statement, they handed it in to the prosecuter,now im told that the prosecuter sent a letter to the police investigater and when he recieves it he will call me to let me know what the prosecuter has decided. My questions are: why has this taken almost 3 months, Whats with the letter and what would that mean,and what are my rights as a victom if by chance they dont press charges because she is my sister in law.
