My question involves criminal law for the state of: MI
Does a judge have the ability to file charges at his/her sole discretion without the advisement of prosecution? For example, if a petitioner in a civil case (i.e. restraining order hearing) or alleged victim in a criminal case presents new information or allegations at a pre-trial or restraining order hearing about new, previously unreported crimes during their testimony, can the judge for that case pursue charges independent from recommendation of state prosecutors?
