Do You Know What Your DA Does?
The DA Reviews The Facts
The district attorney reviews the facts with the arresting officer and sometimes with the complainant or other witnesses.
The assistant district attorney will then determine the sufficiency of the evidence to support charges originally brought by the police, determine the final charges and draft the complaint upon which the defendant will be prosecuted. The complaint must allege facts providing reasonable cause to believe that the person charged committed specific offenses.
