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.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means that the case is permanently closed and cannot be brought back to court. On the other hand, when a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the case can be refiled in the future.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means that the case is permanently closed and cannot be brought back to court. On the other hand, when a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the case can potentially be refiled in the future.
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.
When a court case is dismissed, it means that the case is thrown out and will not proceed to trial. This decision can have various implications depending on the circumstances, such as the case being refiled, the case being permanently closed, or the parties being able to pursue other legal options.
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.
When a case is dismissed, it means that the court has decided not to proceed with the legal action. This could happen for various reasons, such as lack of evidence, procedural errors, or a settlement between the parties. The implications of a case being dismissed can vary depending on the circumstances, but generally, it means that the legal proceedings have come to an end without a final decision on the merits of the case. This could impact the parties involved in terms of their legal rights, obligations, and potential remedies.
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.
In Arkansas, a felony 1st degree battery case may be dismissed for several reasons, including lack of sufficient evidence to support the charges, procedural errors during the arrest or investigation, or if the defendant can establish a valid self-defense claim. Additionally, if the prosecution fails to meet their burden of proof or if there are issues with witness credibility, the case may also be dismissed. Finally, plea negotiations or agreements with the prosecution might lead to a dismissal as part of a plea deal.
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.
