Nolle prosequi is a Latin term meaning "we shall no longer prosecute." It is a declaration made by a prosecutor in a criminal case - or a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit - eiher before or during trial, meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped. The declaration may be made for any number of reasons - the charges cannot be proven - the evidence has demonstrated innocence or a fatal flaw in the prosecution's claim - or the prosecutor no longer thinks the accused is guilty. It is generally made after indictment, but it is not a guarantee that the person won't be reindicted.
See below link for the legal definition of 'Nolle Prosequi.' I'm not certain that the term is used in the military justice system.
It sounds very much like the case was "Nolled." (i.e.- a 'Nolle Prosequi' was entered by the prosecutor after making the decision to not pursue the charge. It was therefore - dropped/abandoned.)
Technically, one cannot be arrested when a case is nol prossed (nolled, nollied). Actually, though, one COULD be arrested again, if the proper paperwork has not arrived where it should (the clerk's office, the sheriff's office, the probation office, etc.).If a new case has been filed on the same incident, one can be arrested again.Additional: The final sentence of the first answer is absolutely correct.Just because the prosecutor declines to prosecute the offense you were charged with (Nolle Prosequi), does not make it 'go away.' A Nolle is NOT a court dismissal of the case, and in the event subsequent information or evidence comes to light, you can be re-arrested on that same charge. This is NOT double jeapordy.
It means that (for whatever reason) the prosecutor's office has decided not to pursue these charges against you. It is known as a "Nolle Prosequi." There is usually good reeason for this - either you have a cut a deal for a "plea bargain" to a lesser offense, or the charges are being withdrawn because there is not enough useable evidence to sustain them in court. Or - they are being withdrawn to be filed again at a later date.
Doing researchon this question I've come across the following information which may not be good news to you.Who is eligible for an expungement? An adult whose criminal charges have been pardoned, decriminalized, dismissed, nolled, or has been found not quilty.There does not seem to be any other criteria other than that..., which is a pretty high bar.See below link:
After completion of the time of the probation set by the court (1 or 2 yrs.) then your arrest record, for that arrest, will be erased. You received a two year probation under the program, you can petition the court after a year to have the A.R. dropped.
It means that the Grand Jury found Probable Cause to believe that you committed the offense for which you were charged at the time of your arrest despite the action of the prosecutor's office.A prosecutor can NOT "dismiss" a criminal charge. When a prosecutor makes the decision NOT to follow through on the indictment it is known as a Nolle Prosequi. In plain English it means that the prosecutor has made the decision that;(a there is no 'prosecutorial merit' to the case, OR -(b) that case is found to be lacking the necessary facts or evidence to proceed to trial.A 'Nolle' is NOT a dismissal! Prosecutors can NOT "dismiss" a charge.Only judges have the legal authority to "dismiss" a charge.If your charge was "nolled" because of a factual error or an evidentiary deficiency - AND - that error or deficiency is "cured" by subsequent police investigation, the prosecutor COULD re-institute the charge against you and take you to trial.
