Nolle Prossed means that the Prosecutor dropped the case before a judge or jury could make a decision. Maybe even before going to trial. This is a discretionary act by the Prosecutor, which occurs outside the formal proceedings of the court. Therefore, there would be no public record of how or why the prosecutor made this decision. Perhaps you could submit a public records request, but I would think they are not accessible. *** As a GAL I actually had to do this recently for a case in another state many years ago. I contacted the clerk of court - they found the record and gave me the D.A.'s name who handled the case. There was a court case even though it was NP. I called the D.A. - since it was a closed case - he gave me some basic info on the reason it wasn't prosecuted. Hope that helps someone.
