If my mom doesn't show up to court ?

Question

my moms pressing charges against my boyfriend for criminal mischief and she knows that I'm the one that broke the stereo but because she doesn't like him she told the cops that he did it and now she want drop the charges but she also said that shes not going to go to court either so if she doesn't go to court then will the judge throw out the case and not charge my boyfriend?

Answer 1

This is a criminal case, correct? They will likely use her original statement in court. She should have been sent an order to appear by the prosecution.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. You really need to go to court as a witness for your bf, and explain that you broke the stereo (hopefully on accident?), and your mom knows it. She was wrong to press false charges against him.
