A dismissal indicates that the prosecutor has decided not to pursue the charge OR that a judge has decided there is not enough evidence to pursue the charge. It is not a finding of guilt of any kind. It may not be a finding of innocence, either; just an acknowledgement that the charges cannot be proved adequately with the evidence available.

What does non conviction mean on a felony charge?

A non-conviction on a felony charge means that the defendant was not found guilty of the crime. This can occur through various outcomes, such as a dismissal of the charges, an acquittal at trial, or a plea deal that results in no conviction. It indicates that there was insufficient evidence for a conviction or that the legal process did not result in a guilty verdict. A non-conviction typically does not carry the same legal penalties as a conviction.

What is duly convicted?

Duly convicted means that the conviction followed due process of law, which means that the trial preceding the conviction was fundamentally fair. The conviction includes the sentence which shall not exceed the maximum punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Under the Thirteenth Amendment, a convict may be enslaved for a period of time not to exceed the maximum number of years punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Any punishment that exceeds the maximum years of punishment annexed to the crime of conviction is undue and fundamentally unfair, which puts it in violation of the Fifth Amendment's prohibition of multiple punishments for the same crime and makes it a clear crime against the victim convicts humanity.


What is a dismissed conviction?

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.
