text: i want to drop charges on someone. what should i do? if i want to drop charges but he has three felony's and one misdemenor what should i do? becuase his next court date is in a few days and i was going to go and just tell them to drop the charges but i don't think it's that easy. i've never been in this type of situation before. and will i still be able to drop the charges if he has three felonys? becuase i know they'll drop the misdemenor. and how long will he be in jail if he is charged with the felonys? i didn't know by me making a statement would get him in the positon that he's in. so what shall i do about this. it is not up to you to "drop the charges"  you are now a witness and the da determines about the charges.
