Once the arrest has been made, the victim has no say so in the ultimate prosecution of the case.

The court of public opinion is pretty timely. Domestic violence won't fly in this day and age

I was actually told the exact opposite thing by a few friends who work in criminal defense here in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. One of them started in the DAs office years back.
They said an uncooperative victims almost accelerate a trial given the history of victims being coerced to drop charges or not cooperate.
I have no idea. I am not a criminal attorney and maybe Austin works differently.
