“I understand, the officer has to arrest… Somebody’s going to get arrested. But now, it’s up to the State’s Attorney in terms of whether we prosecute or not. How often do you see the domestic violence cases dropped by the States Attorney’s office?”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“It does happen a lot, especially if it’s like…he pushed me, I pushed him. We’re both drinking, and, you know, usually the right statements, or the victim is like, I’m not scared. I was also intoxicated, like, stuff like that. And they’ll listen to that, because… okay, I’m not going to be able to go forward on this.
There’s no real injury. My victim says they were also drinking. We’re not going to file on an arrest, but the case is declined, so it won’t be a case. So you won’t have to go through the rest of the steps, so you’ll just have to go to bond. And then after that, it’ll be done. About 30 or 40 days.
But if you do get charged, and a lot of them do you get charged because the other thing too, is…when the victims are very vocal, even if they’re wrong, people get charged. You know, this person says how is that State’s Attorney going to say that didn’t happen to you? You know, it’s left to be sorted out in the trial, in the discovery and in the investigation of the case.”

“Well, that old adage, ‘he who screams the loudest, gets listens to, gets listened to’, is very, very much of a backfire process right here.”
Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL
“Absolutely, absolutely, whoever gets to the phone first. it’s very much, many, many, many times, many…just like that, whoever called first.”
