When a case is dismissed by a Judge "Without Prejudice" It means that the person can be brought back to trial for that same crime. Normally double jeopardy (constitutionally a person can not be tried for the same crime twice if a case is dropped and the person declared innocent) would prevent that from being possible, but the judge saying the case is without prejudice it does not violate the persons constitutional rights and the person can be brought up on charges for the same crime if more evidence is found later.
