I do have a very bad pass record but in none of my passed have i ever had a DV on my record... Could use some advice on this matter... Thank you for your imput....

Answer: When someone is charged with a criminal offense, a prosecuting attorney pursues a conviction because evidence exists that a state or local law was violated. Evidence of a crime may include documentation or proof in addition to victim or witness statements. A prosecutor may seek a conviction based on the evidence available.
