<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: TimesNewRomanPSMT">Domestic
violence is a course of conduct crime where things like pattern of behavior,
other acts evidence and witness intimidation are relevant. Unfortunately,
police, prosecutors and victim’s rights advocates often throw their hands up in
frustration when victims ask to “drop the charges” or fail to appear for court.
We have come to expect victim recantation in domestic violence cases and as a
result, many cases are dismissed.<O></O></SPAN><O></O></P>

proceeding without the victim’s cooperation may seem challenging, there are
statutes, rules of evidence and case law that support victimless prosecution. We
will review these useful legal strategies to help you overcome the challenges
