Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
If my co defendant gets a letter from the state saying that there is no evidence and that his case has been dropped will I get on too ?

Not necessarily. The state looks at the evidence against each individual. It could be they felt there was not enough for your co-defendant but enough evidence against you. However, if you haven't heard anything yet, then you will need to wait. Talk to your attorney or hire one right away.
Maybe but not necessarily. The State may not have had sufficient evidence against your co-defendant but that doesn't mean they don't have sufficient evidence against you. Check with the Clerk to see if your charges have been dropped (generally if the State made a decision against your co-defendant then they would likely have made a decision about you in the same time-frame) but keep in mind there is no guarantee.
