Reply to comment by Chippopotanuse in Jury acquits Pawtucket police officer in shooting of teen driver by skippyspk

I work in the industry. Often time the Prosecution has no choice but to drop the charges in DOMV cases as there’s no cooperation from the victim. Even though the State WANTS to prosecute the bastard, there’s no way to get a conviction when both the defendant and victim say it never happened.

In this particular case that would not be the case because the person being abused was 10.
