It means that for some legal reason the court has dismissed the charges against the individual. A case may be dismissed "with prejudice" or "without prejudice."
A dismissed case is one that has been dismissed by court order or one of the parties and it often means the case had no triable issues. A closed case is one where all legal matters have been resolved.
The statute of limitations is the period of time that prosecutors are given to charge a given case. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for a Misdemeanor DUI (Regular DUI, Extreme DUI, Super Extreme DUI) is 1 year. The statute of limitations for a Felony DUI (Aggravated DUI) is 7 years.

It means that your case was dismissed and cannot be re-filed and opened again.
In plain English - it usually means that the opposing party failed to appear in court to present their side of the case. Due to their failure to show up, the case was dismissed.
It could be, but it is unlikely.
A case can be dismissed at any phase up until there is a verdict or a sentence on a plea has been given.Note: there are two types of dismissals.1. without prejudice - the case can be reopened and prosecution continues2. with prejudice - the case CANNOT be reopened and it's completely done.
No. A conviction is when the defendant pleads guilty or nolo, or a jury finds him guilty. Dismissed functions like a not guilty.
That DUI issue depends on the state in which you reside. In some states if a case is dismissed then so will be any reflection on your driving record. In other states, the DUI will stay no matter. Also, it does not matter if you were on public or private property when you got your DUI, you are not supposed to drive under the influence anytime or anywhere.
If you were arrested for a felony crime - and the charge was dismissed before ever reaching the trial stage - you are NOT considered to be a felon. And although your record may reflect an arrest for the offense, it will also show that the charge was dismissed.
It depends on how it was dismissed Dismissed without predjudice means that the charges can be re-filed. Usually this is used when the Judge thinks there is lack of evidence for a conviction. If more evidence is found later, the charges can be re-filed. Dismissed with predjudice means that charges can not be refiled.
It may be possible to contest a DUI charge by hiring a lawyer to review the case for any procedural errors or inaccuracies. However, the chances of getting out of a DUI depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the evidence against you.
yes. if you can make at least one person in the jury believe that you may not have been drunk then yes it can get dismissed.
He did not get convicted, as a juror on his trial was dismissed due to misconduct. This triggered a mistrial and the charge was dismissed.
Wait. If there is a plea of guilty, there can be no not guilty decision; in such cases, there is no trial, only sentencing. The only way it would be reopened is if the defendant rescinded his guilty plea and successfully appealed for a new trial, which then, in theory, could be dismissed. In the event of a dismissal, there is no conviction, unless of course the prosecutor successfully appeals and seeks a new trial, which in light of the original guilty plea, most prosecutors would.
No. Once it is overturned and dismissed, it ceases being a conviction. You might need to have some paperwork cleaned up to reflect that.When it is overturned and then dismissed it ceases being a conviction.If the case was dismissed with prejudice, it may not be over. If the case was dismissed without prejudice, you are a free person with that conviction.Point of advice, unless you are fully prepared to do the time and are happy with the potential sentence, never submit a guilty plea...no matter how guilty you are. By doing so, you are voluntarily giving up your civil rights, and you generally have little recourse.
