How can a person be convicted of dissuading a victim if there was no crime when charges were dropped?
Your question is an attempt at changing the time-line of events, and re-stating them out of the sequence in which they actually occurred.
(1) You committed the offense
(2) The victim reported it
(3) You were arrested
(4) At sometime after your arrest you apparently brought pressure to bear on the victim to withdraw their complaint against you.
It is at this point that you apparently committed the act that 'dissuaded' the victim (Intimidation of a State's Witness) from going forward with their testimony .
FACT: simply because the victim expresses the desire withdraw their complaint does NOT automatically "drop" the charges and make them 'go away.'
In reality they weren't dropped, and the charge still exist because it is the STATE that is prosecuting you for the offense, and NOT the individual victim personally.
What else can I help you with?
Do dropped charges show up on background check?
Not only does it show up on your background. The initially charge for which you where arrested/charged stays the same just get it expunge if you can. Good Luck This person is incorrect. If you are convicted of a crime then it show up on you back ground check. But if the charges are dropped then you were never convicted of that crime and it will NOT show up on background check. Court Documents can be researched to find out what the original charge may have been, but it you are doing a background check for a job then they do NOT look for that type of information. They only want to know what you were convicted of. You get this expunged if you were convicted of a crime and it has been several years since the conviction took place.

Not true, here in California I bail out people who get the charges dropped sometimes before their first court appearance. So this person now does not have to appear.or, the person is arrested, bailed out, and then no charges are filed. Quite common actually.AnswerNo. The accused will have to make an appearance regardless of whether the prosecutor's office requests the charges to be dismissed.Charges can only be dismissed by the prosecutor with the consent of the presiding judge.
If someones been wrongly convicted of grand theft auto and the person who done it confessed dont they have to drop the charges against the innocent man?
No. If a person has been convicted, it is no longer possible to "drop" the charges. The convicted person must seek to have his conviction overturned, either through an appeal or a new trial, depending on the circumstances and on the state's procedural law. At a new trial, he would be able to introduce evidence of the confession of another person as exculpatory evidence.
