My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
A guy and a girl got in a fight. It became physical. The girl called the police because she was scared. The police asked if she wanted to press charges. She said no. The police ended up arresting him for assault and battery.
I read this on a website:
Virginia Code §19.2-151 allows for the dismissal of an assault and battery warrant upon meeting certain conditions. This is called an accord and satisfaction. The requirement typically involves the injured party appearing in court and acknowledging in writing that he has received satisfaction, usually in the form of monetary compensation, for any injury he sustained. If the judge is satisfied with the agreement between the accused and the victim, then the judge has discretion to enter an order superseding any commitment, discharging any recognizance or dismissing the prosecution altogether. This provision does not apply to assaults against law enforcement officers or against household members.
Does the above pertain to this situation? Even though the police pressed charges and not the girl---can the girl make an agreement with the guy and go to court for the charge to be dismissed?
Thanks.
