Always go to court unless you are notified your court date has been cancelled.

It is common for the prosecution to drop one or more charges to get a better chance of a conviction on other charges.

They will not inform you that other charges are still to be tried!

A case is dismissed by the court after someone has been charged and the court either finds there is insufficient evidence to prove the charge, or on a motion from one of the parties to the case.
