Motion to Dismiss

A motion to dismiss is a legal request made by the defense to ask the court to dismiss the charges or specific counts of charges. This motion is typically filed before or during the early stages of a trial and is based on various legal grounds. It's important to note that the specific rules and procedures for filing a motion to dismiss vary, and the following information provides a general overview.

It's crucial to consult with a criminal defense attorney to determine the appropriate legal grounds for a motion to dismiss in a specific case. If the court grants the motion, the charges or certain counts may be dismissed, leading to the conclusion of the case. However, if the motion is denied, the case will proceed to trial or other legal proceedings.
