How can a person be convicted of dissuading a victim if there was no crime when charges were dropped?

Your question is an attempt at changing the time-line of events, and re-stating them out of the sequence in which they actually occurred.
(1) You committed the offense
(2) The victim reported it
(3) You were arrested
(4) At sometime after your arrest you apparently brought pressure to bear on the victim to withdraw their complaint against you.
It is at this point that you apparently committed the act that 'dissuaded' the victim (Intimidation of a State's Witness) from going forward with their testimony .
FACT: simply because the victim expresses the desire withdraw their complaint does NOT automatically "drop" the charges and make them 'go away.'
In reality they weren't dropped, and the charge still exist because it is the STATE that is prosecuting you for the offense, and NOT the individual victim personally.

Can person out on bail get the charges dropped where they don't have to appear in court?
Not true, here in California I bail out people who get the charges dropped sometimes before their first court appearance. So this person now does not have to appear.or, the person is arrested, bailed out, and then no charges are filed. Quite common actually.AnswerNo. The accused will have to make an appearance regardless of whether the prosecutor's office requests the charges to be dismissed.Charges can only be dismissed by the prosecutor with the consent of the presiding judge.

No. If a person has been convicted, it is no longer possible to "drop" the charges. The convicted person must seek to have his conviction overturned, either through an appeal or a new trial, depending on the circumstances and on the state's procedural law. At a new trial, he would be able to introduce evidence of the confession of another person as exculpatory evidence.

This question makes no sense. If you were charged - and paid fines for those charges you effectively pleaded guilty. Under what situation, and why, would the charges be dismissed years later?
