It's possible, but unlikely. That's one of the reasons why police have to write complete reports. If the reporting party is deceased when the matter goes to trial, the reports will suffice as the best evidence.

You are more likely to have the case dismissed if the officer is alive and well and simply fails to show up in court despite being subpoenaed.

Can someone sue the state of Maryland for false arrest after the criminal charges are dismissed in a court of law?

No, dismissal of criminal charges is not an indication that the person was innocent of the crime, only that there was not enough evidence to pursue prosecution.Exactly... You would need to prove that the arrest was unjustified to qualify for this complaint. Such as an officer arresting you with absolutely no evidence and nothing to go on. Basically just maliciously arresting you. This would be a violation of your personal rights under the constitution. Chances are that the case wouldn't go all the way to trial in this circumstance anyways.


If a cop lies during trial is it automatically dismissed?

No, it is not automatically dismissed. If ANYONE lies during their testimony at trial, the attorneys do their best to bring it to the jury's attention and let THEM, the JURY, decide just how much weight (if any) to give any part (or all of) the liar's testimony. There are jury instructions that can alert/remind the jury that ANY testimony they believe contained a lie can be dismissed IN ITS ENTIRETY from that particular liar.

Who brings criminal charges against a suspect?

Usually the way criminal charges work is that the arresting or investigating agency will turn in all relevant documents to the District Attorney and then the DA will decide if there is enough evidence to support a trial or if the case should be dismissed. From there the DA will present the case in front of the Grand Jury (in some states), this is not a trial and the defendant usually is not present. In this process there is no 'one person' responsible for charging an alleged criminal.
