It means just what the wod implies, they were dismissed. However- there are two types of dismissal; dismissal WITH prejudice, and dismissal WITHOUT prejudice. "With" means that the charge "goes away" and that particular charge cannot be re-instituted. "Without" means that although the charge was dismissed you CAN be re-charged once again. You definitely need to find out which one applies to you. A "dismissed" conviction does not mean that you're found "not guilty," or were "pardoned." The record will appear on your criminal history record.

No. A conviction is when the defendant pleads guilty or nolo, or a jury finds him guilty. Dismissed functions like a not guilty.
yes. but it will show that it was dismissed. so its not a conviction .
No, it is not a conviction. The judge withholds any entry of judgment. It is on hold until probation or other certain conditions are satisfied. When that is done then it is dismissed.
Yes, If they are on parole for a separate conviction.
If you are referring to traffic tickets, vacated is the same as dismissed. The charge was dropped, and no conviction was entered.
It depends on how it was dismissed Dismissed without predjudice means that the charges can be re-filed. Usually this is used when the Judge thinks there is lack of evidence for a conviction. If more evidence is found later, the charges can be re-filed. Dismissed with predjudice means that charges can not be refiled.
If you were arrested for a felony crime - and the charge was dismissed before ever reaching the trial stage - you are NOT considered to be a felon. And although your record may reflect an arrest for the offense, it will also show that the charge was dismissed.
NO. you still have a conviction. That would depend on how your case was adjudicated. Were you convicted of the charges, or were they dismissed?
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.
No, if the original judgment was reversed and the second verdict was Not Guilty you have not been convicted. However, the records of these actions, as well as the original arrest, will still exist.
Generally speaking, yes. If a case was dismissed, you should not have a conviction reflected on your record.
If the charges have been dismissed, yes. If the charges are pending, or have resulted in a conviction, no. Check with a local attorney to be sure.
