In Arizona, it is always up to the prosecution on how to proceed with charges with victims who have the right to discuss and to make their wishes known. However, it is always up to the prosecution whether or not to drop charges. Of course, an experienced defense attorney can sometimes discuss your side with the prosecutor to possibly reduce or dismiss the charges.
