Fleeing an Attempting to Elude: Dismissed

People have a belief that if they are not guilty of something, then the State will just dismiss the charge. Occasionally, this is true:
However, as you can see above, this is a nolle prosequi, not a no prosecution. What does that mean?

This means that someone had to fight to get the charge voluntarily dismissed. Evidence had to be collected, analyzed, and multiple negotiations were necessary to secure this dismissal. Specific to this case, a joint review with the ASA of the dash cam evidence.

People often still try to represent themselves and wonder why their case blows up in their face, but this Okaloosa County client wisely hired counsel early on, and months later, obtained a dismissal.
