Answer:
It will be a matter for the prosecutor to decide whether to file charges or not. It will be a matter of subjective discretion for the prosecutor to decide whether sufficient cause to press charges exist, based upon all the facts and evidence involved in the situation. If charges are filed, then a trial sate will be set.
