Best Answer

When a case is dismissed with prejudice the State cannot refile the charges.

Added: When it is dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, the charges CAN be re-filed and you can be prosecuted. Regardless of what you remember, the original case file will reflect in what manner the original case was resolved. Do the research or ask your attorney.

What happens if a judge has ruled on a judgment dismissed without prejudice?

A "Dismissed without Prejudice" order means that the lawsuit is being dismissed by the court, but the case can be re-filed if the party chooses to re-file. This often happens when a lawsuit is filed but, for some reason, it is not pursued. Maybe a plaintiff becomes ill, or maybe a witness can't be located. The possibilities are endless. Rather than the case sitting in the court docket without there being any activity on it, the court dismisses it. On the other hand, a case that is "Dismissed WITH Prejudice" means, usually, that the claim is barred from being refiled.
