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.

∙ 11y agoCases are "dismissed" only by the court and can be done in one of two fashions - it is important to know in which fashion it was dismissed.
(1) Dismissed WITH prejudice means that the charges can not be brought again for the same crime.
(2) Dismissed WITHOUT prejudice means that the same charges can be re-filed and brought for the same case.
Prosecutors can not "dismiss" cases they can only issue a Nolle Prosequi which is not the same thing as a dismisssal.
