Around here it usually has to be a first offense with no injury, no weapon, no property damage, and no allegation of chocking for the State not to prosecute.
I don't see any of the cases where the police are called out but no one is arrested. But the DA usually asks the officer if there has been any past history of abuse allegations that were not charged.
I know you're a lawyer, but I'm guessing you do not practice criminal law..... There is a complete different set of rules for Domestic Assaults than there is for regular assaults.
