    Default Criminal Mischief

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: DELAWARE
    I received a criminal mischief charge but the owner didn't press charges someone else did. Is that legal?

    Default Re: Criminal Mischief

    The victim isn't the one who determines if criminal charges are brought. It is the state (the police/prosecutor) that make that decision. It is society as a whole that is injured by criminal behavior.
