NYC justice system is disgusting. A family member (cousin) has been abusive to me my whole life and I have been avoiding him. But last September he ran into me and attacked and tried to kill me after he approach me trying to harassing me after I told him to leave me alone and I walked away and he brutally attacked me. Abusive people can not handle rejection. He was touching me inappropriately, and won't leave me alone and my other family was supporting it as they we pushing me to talk to him and I did not want to. I just wanted for him to leave me alone

I pressed charges and after a year my prosecutor told me yesterday the case was dropped and dismissed for no reason (something to do with "motion") and it was a new law in effect which lead to this case just being drop. He told me there wasn't anything wrong on my end but that is just how it is and there is nothing I can do moving forward. I was heartbroken. I'm never going to get over this unless he is dead or in jail.

I have to live with this trauma forever.
