Can a judge act as a prosecutor after the nolle prosequi?
A "NOLLE PROSEQUI" is not a dismissal of the charges. It only means that, for whatever reason, it was the prosecutor's decision to decline to prosecute. His actions in the "nolle" do not mean the charges "go away" and his decision is subject to review by higher authority (e.g.- his superiors or a judicial officer). His decision COULD be over-ruled and the charges re-instituted. As far as a judge acting as a prosecutor - more information would have to be included as to exactly what the questioner is asking, or they mean by that statement.
