Hello,
I live in the state of Florida and I would like to know approximately how long it will take for the charges to be dropped in the state of Florida. I was charged with the following
1. Battery Domestic Violence
2. Tampering with witness to hinder communication to LEO
This was all a misunderstanding and my girlfriend already tool a domestic violence class that is mandatory if you do not want to prosecute. But someone told me there is a possibility the state will prosecute either way.
However, if they decide to prosecute do you know approximately how long it will the whole court process take.
Also, one more question: Will the charges appear on record (for example: Background Check) after they have been dropped or will they not show up at all.
Thank you in advance.
