- Q. The police lied about not arresting him. I wrote a statement about verbal abuse/threats i want all charges dropped
- A: Once charged, only the judge has the authority to dismiss a case. The prosecutor also has significant sway over which charges may be dismissed. You may wish to meet with and speak to the prosecutor; the judge will not speak with you about the case. The best place to start is with the Victim Advocate for your court or with the prosecutor's office. As a victim of a crime you have a statutory right to have someon of your choosing represent you as a victim. Here is a link to a brochure on your rights as a victim: http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Files/Publications-Files/Publications-for-Victims/Crime-Victims-Publications/Picking-Up-the-Pieces-A-Guide-to-Helping-Crime-Vic

- Q. Do I have a lawsuit if EMTs used narcan on my brother even though he wasn't overdosing on opioids??
- A: This response is general in nature and you should seek the counsel and advice of an experienced Ohio lawyer to review all the aspects of your case. Do not rely on this answer as it is based on limited information.
Ohio's Political Subdivision Tort Liability Act creates a significant hurdle in such cases. Typically, such first responders will be immune from traditional negligence based liability. If the Narcan was wrongfully administered, and it was the proximate cause of your brother's death, the conduct of the EMTs still must be proven to be "willful or wanton," rather than negligent.
