Wala na ba bisa ang warrant of arrest kapag may affidavit of desistance o para ma-dismiss ang kaso?

Enough na po ba ang affidavit of desistance para ma-dismiss ang case? Wala na rin po bang bisa ang warrant of arrest pag meron yun?

Una sa lahat, hindi mo binanggit kung ano ang kasong kriminal na isinampa laban sa iyo.

Pangalawa, dahil sa sinabi mong may warrant of arrest na, ibig sabihin nito, tapos na ang preliminary investigation sa harap ng public prosecutor, at ang asunto ay nai-hain na sa husgado, at ang husgado ay ni-review na ang asunto at naka-hanap na ng probable cause.

ibig sabihin, ang warrant of arrest ay inilabas upang ang husgado ay magkaroon ng jurisdiction doon sa katauhan noong akusado. Dadakipin na ang akusado.

Kung ako ang tatanungin mo, mas maigi ngang may warrant of arrest na -- kasi, kapag nasa husgado na at aka mo ihain ang affidavit of desistance, may double jeopardy na. Ibig sabihin nito, kung sakaling mag-bago ang isip noong complainant, hindi na siya makapag-sasampa pa ng parehong asunto dahil sa, nai-sampa na niya ito dati.

Mas maiging makipag-usap at sumangguni sa isang abogado. Mas mapo-protektahan ang iyong mga karapatan kung may abogado ka.
