- KingMob 3y agoDon't be obtuse. You know they meant they declined to cooperate should the DA pursue charges, and that "decline to press charges" is a popular phrase, if not technically correct. (And if not, you should.)
- School-Cotton 3y ago“Press charges” is exactly correct. It literally means a civilian advocating for charges to be filed. (The actual filing of charges is of course something only the state can do).
