Recently, I was the victim of a 3rd degree misdemeanor assault. The attacker was arrested. Despite the fact that he could not produce any identification to the investigating officers, other than a current address and a phone number, he was released on personal recognizance. Two days later, he moved from his only known residence. The police have no further information on this individual.
My wife and neighbors took pictures and collected witness statements. None of these were collected by the Police. They said just hang on to this stuff in case the guy goes to trial. Assuming that the attacker has not skipped permanently, how can we have this information added to the case file? Or are we allowed to do this at all?
We do not want to see this individual plea bargain down to something lesser because an assistant DA doesn't have enough information.
Thanks for any information
