Question

My case was nolle prosequied, or nolle prossed. What does that mean? Is my case done?

Answer

When a case is nolle prosequied, the Commonwealth's Attorney has determined that they are unable to proceed with your case at a given moment in time. This could be because of a problem with evidence, a witness's unavailability, or another reason. The case is not dismissed or dropped and may be refiled at a later date if the Commonwealth determines that the case should proceed.
