IF I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION CORRECTLY:A 'de novo" appeal was made to nullify the original municipal court verdict and move the case from municipal court to county court.A de novo hearing signifies that, in the eyes of the law, the initial hearing (in municipal court), never occurred and it is being heard in county court as if it were a 'new' case.If the case was then dismissed by the county court judge, the reason for the dismissal would have to be known as well as under what conditions it was dismissed.BUT - if the misdemeanor assault case was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, it COULD be re-filed as a felony without creating double jeaopordy.
