What happens to your physical evidence if your case is dropped?

Just that, its dropped. There is no evidence to prove the defendant is guilty, therefore he or she cannot be convicted.

Another View: It is not that simple! It is important to know what you mean by "dropped."

If the case was Nolle Prosse'd by the prosecutor then it has truly 'gone away,' the state has decided not to prosecute you.

However if the case was "Dismissed" by the court it is important to know HOW it was dismissed (i.e.: WITH Prejudice or WITHOUT Prejudice).

WITH prejudice means that the same charge cannot be brought against you again (for the same event) - and that is the end of the case.

If it was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, it means that the prosecutor could file it against you again.

Where is Joran van der Sloot now?

Joran Van Der Sloot is alive and well, living in or around Meuang Ake, Pathum Thani, Thailand. He, until recently, was living in a decent sized house, but his landlord recently kicked him out. I'm not sure where he is living right now, though he's still in the area.

I saw him in a local restaurant, amazingly with a young blonde western girlfriend in tow. He introduced himself as Joran Van Der Sloot, no shyness about it at all. I was stunned to actually run into him at all, much less with a girl who looked so much like Natalee Holloway. He is fairly well known by the people in the area, and as far as I know is not working a full time job. Not sure how he supports himself.
