A man hurt another man in a fight and is facing serious charges. The police filed a case against him, but he’s poor, doesn’t know his rights, and is now in jail. The injured man is willing to forgive him and drop the charges. What should the accused man do?

The accused man should inform his lawyer about the injured man’s willingness to forgive him. The lawyer can then approach the court to explore options like a compromise or dropping charges based on the victim’s statement. However, the final decision rests with the court and the charges may not be dropped entirely depending on the severity of the offense.
