"Only the government has the authority to bring criminal charges. It is not up to you or your attorney to decide whether to initiate criminal proceedings against the defendant. However, suppose evidence of intent to commit a crime emerges during discovery. In that case, the public prosecutor may file criminal charges after the civil case has begun."
