how do I cancel crown court? I press harrasment charges against my husband but now after counceling I dont fee?

For decades many domestic abuse cases were discontinued due to the couples reconciling their differences. This was proving costly both in court time and in some cases the life of the victim when the abuse resumed, which it invariably does.

In view of the number of retractions, the CPS in some cases proceed regardless. In such cases the victim is treated as a hostile witness and, in some circumstances, have received a fine or even custodial sentence for contempt of court.

If you've asked for the case to be dropped and they've refused, you will probably be put before the judge to explain why. Be very careful as to what you say.

It may seem harsh on the face of it, but the CPS are acting with your welfare in mind and trying to free you from the waster.

So why did you file for harassment charges against your husband if you are going to cancel it in the first place? It cannot be cancelled or temporarily halted because the time of the court and the resolution of the case is at hand. Even if you sleep at night the papers that you submitted in court is moving. The only option is that you finish the proceedings of the case and move on with your life thereafter. Well it is your fault you shouldn't have filed it in the first place when you can change your mind anytime.

As I have many times said on this site,"when you go looking for revenge, dig two graves" You are now in the position of being in contempt of court if you do not testify and you could be charged with perjury if you lie to the court. All of these things, and many more, should have been thought of when you sought to destroy your husband. Your accusations must have been quite severe if this case is being tried in Crown Court.

My dear lady, your obvious lack of basic comprehension of my answer is probably why you are in your current predicament. What my very old saying means is quite simple, the reference to graves is metaphorical, when you seek revenge, you also ruin yourself. That is evidenced by the fact that you are due to appear in court and are in the position to either lie on oath or not show up, contempt of court. Another old saying "talk is cheap, unless it is to a lawyer" Should you have talked this matter through with your lucky husband, I say lucky as he is shortly to be free of you, all of this could have been avoided.

Where I live you can't just cancel it. Once charges have been filed you have to go to court and go before a judge. Once you go to court you can ask the judge or prosecutors to drop the charges and they might or might not drop them. Depends on the circumstances and what exactly happened to make you file charges in the first place.

Once you get the courts involved it's out of your hands. You are just the middle man at that point the courts pick up charges even if you drop them.

You cannot cancel it. The Crown Prosecution Service are going ahead, makes no difference if you want it or not.
