Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: If found not guilty of dometic assault, can someone sue for legal expenses

The prosecutor who made the decision to go forward with the case obviously did not share your opinion regarding your son's guilt.

Therefore, as long as the prosecutor believed that there was at least probable cause to bring the domestic assault charge against your son and absent a clear showing that the charge was merely fabricated, there would be no credible basis for your son to initiate any suit againt the complaining witness(his former girlfriend).

I disagree with attorney Hendrickson. I think more people ought to sue false accusers. I wish you the best of luck.
