My knowledge of the criminal law is very limited but I thought the offence is against society in general and the individual in particular and the prosecution cannot be waived by the person offended against? If that is not the case then I will be able to give a few people who have upset in my life a good beating and then frighten them so much they withdraw their statements etc. Maybe I wont bother though. As to the lady I don't know of her but its a great shame. Chris.S.
