YOU don't Nolle Prosse a case, the prosecutors office makes that decision. Nolle Prosse, means, "I decline to prosecute." The reason the prosecutor may decline to prosecute may be due to some legal deficiency he sees in the case that might cause it to be thrown out or lost.

Answer Prosecutors don't usually prosecute a case unless they have enough evidence to convict the person on trial. That would probably be the only way that they wouldn't go to trial as it's very costly to the State for someone to go free when the Prosecution thought they had a good case. Two cases in such were the Micheal Jackson case and the famous Simpson case in which cases both defendants were cleared off all charges. Those two trials probably cost more money than it takes to put a rocket in space.
The time limit for prosecutors to file charges in a criminal case is determined by the statute of limitations, which varies depending on the type of crime committed.
To prosecute someone for a crime they have committed, the legal process involves gathering evidence, filing charges, conducting a trial, and presenting the case in court. The prosecution must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to secure a conviction. This process is overseen by the criminal justice system and involves the participation of law enforcement, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and jurors.
