Re: no evidence no case?

You need to speak with an attorney. If the investigators or the State Attorney have caught the victim in a lie, they could choose to drop the charges, but it may be a case where you have to prove the lie. If the State found no weapon, but the victim claims you had one or claims that you said you had a weapon, the case could proceed based on the statement.

You need to contact an attorney and have him/her review your case to tell you where you stand and work on a defense.
