I am the complaining witness against _______________________, the Defendant in the above referenced case. It is my wish and desire that all charges in relation to these matters be dismissed, that there be no further action taken thereon and I do not intend to pursue the prosecution of said Defendant.
Defining the Affidavit of Non Prosecution Typically used in instances such as domestic violence or simple assault, it's a formal statement that indicates the complainant's desire to rescind their original allegation or cease further legal action.
A Waiver of Prosecution is a notarized, sworn statement from the alleged victim saying that he or she would not like to press charges against the alleged perpetrator of the crime. Filing this document can certainly help the case but it is not guaranteed to make the prosecutor decide not to press charges.
An affidavit of non-prosecution serves as a formal declaration by the alleged victim that they do not wish to participate in the prosecution process. This document can be submitted to the prosecutor's office or the court as evidence of the victim's intentions not to cooperate. It must be notarized.
