What does it mean when a criminal case has been dismissed?
It means that the judge dismissed your charges. The prosecution will dismiss the charges when they cannot proceed in good faith or they cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. Usually because there was a problem with a piece of evidence or the availability of a witness. Sometimes cases are dismissed during plea negotiations when a person will plead to one case in exchange for the dismissal of another. Sometimes the evidence unfolds and there is doubt that the person charged is really the one that committed the crime. Be carefeul, just because the judge dismissed your case doesn't mean they can't re-file charges against you, but that rarely happens.Added; Judges DISMISS charges - Prosecutors NOLLE PROSEQUI charges.
