A dismissal indicates that the prosecutor has decided not to pursue the charge OR that a judge has decided there is not enough evidence to pursue the charge. It is not a finding of guilt of any kind. It may not be a finding of innocence, either; just an acknowledgement that the charges cannot be proved adequately with the evidence available.
