Can a disposed case be reopened?

Yes, a disposed case may be reopened if a party to a case is not satisfied.

Insufficient evidence. A prosecutor may drop a criminal charge if it is determined that the evidence against the accused isn’t strong enough. If charges get filed regardless of insufficient evidence, then our attorney can file a motion of case dismissal.

What is the difference between charges being dropped and charges being dismissed?

The term “dismissed” applies to charges that have been filed. If you are arrested, but your charges don’t get filed for any number of reasons, including a victim’s refusal to cooperate, insufficient evidence, or new information revealed via DNA evidence, your case may be dropped.
