Unlikely. If you were not properly informed of your rights (and that information was necessary) then the common result is that evidence of your statements is not allowed in trial.
IF by dropped you mean the case was dismissed, the answer depends on when and why the case was dismissed.
If it is voluntarily dismissed by the prosecutor or the police department, the plantiff in the case CAN bring the case back to court at another time (if the second case is dismissed, you're in the clear after that.) If it was involunarily dismissed by the judge, then no.
It could be, but your allegation would have to be proved first.
No - but you could attempt to bring suit against the stae for wrongful prosecution. Consult wih an attorney to determine your options.ALSO: HOW was the case "dismissed?" WITH prejudice or WITHOUT prejudice. It makes a big difference.
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.
If the case re-appeared in the system after being "dismissed' - that means it must have been dismissed "WITHOUT PREJUDICE." This means that the original charge was somehow legally faulty and the judge dismissed it. WITHOUT prejudice means that the prosecutor, after correcting the deficiency, can re-file the charge. If the judge had dismissed it WITH prejudice, the case could not have been re-filed. About your being unable to reach your attorney.... I cannot comment on that.
noAnother View: Yes, it could be, depending on HOW the case was dismissed. If the judge dismissed the case WITH prejudice it cannot be re-opened. If it was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice it can be.However, if a criminal case is dismissed without prejudice it may not be re-opened IF the applicable statute of limitations for that crime in that situation has lapsed.
Plaintiffs do not charge. They file lawsuits. The plaintiff can always file, but if the case is dismissed with prejudice, a new filing cannot be litigated. If a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means res judicata applies, and a new filing would be dismissed because the issues have already been litigated. If the case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that it has been voluntarily dismissed or dismissed for some reason to allow the case to be refiled and re-litigated later.
It means your case is dismissed. Your case will still show up on your background report. I got my felony case expunged, but it still shows on my background as dismissed.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice the State cannot refile the charges.Added: When it is dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, the charges CAN be re-filed and you can be prosecuted. Regardless of what you remember, the original case file will reflect in what manner the original case was resolved. Do the research or ask your attorney.
A "Dismissed without Prejudice" order means that the lawsuit is being dismissed by the court, but the case can be re-filed if the party chooses to re-file. This often happens when a lawsuit is filed but, for some reason, it is not pursued. Maybe a plaintiff becomes ill, or maybe a witness can't be located. The possibilities are endless. Rather than the case sitting in the court docket without there being any activity on it, the court dismisses it. On the other hand, a case that is "Dismissed WITH Prejudice" means, usually, that the claim is barred from being refiled.
It means that the case is dismissed because the plaintiff did not show up in court.
