In NH regarding assault and Accomplice to simple assault if the principle is found Not Guilty can the state persue charges for the Accomplice?

In: Crime and Criminal Law

[Edit]

Answer

It depends on the jurisdiction. In the federal system an indictment is handed down from a grand jury. So the prosecutor has to take the evidence into them to issue charges.

The prosecutor has to show that a crime happened and that there is a possibility that the person in question was involved.

In many states a prosecutor draws up an indictment and has a judge sign it. In that situation no grand jury is involved.
