Oops. As suspected, the victim has no right to control the outcome of the case, nor is the victim's agreement necessary.
From the DOJ:
Red, you might be the single worst researcher on this Board. from today's chicago tribune (talking about Donte Stallworth's arrest in Florida):
"The local prosecutor rejects the charge that she let him off easy. She notes that Stallworth had a clean record and cooperated with authorities.
Another big reason for the light sentence, said Katherine Fernandez Rundle, was the preference of the victim's family. "Had the family been out for blood and wanted [Stallworth] to go to prison for 15 years, the state would have given that great weight," said a local defense lawyer."
Red, read the bolded part if you are too lazy to do anything else.
