Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
My boyfriend got locked up and had a preliminary hearing. The judge didn't drop any charges in his case even though she said what he was in there for didn't seem like he was guilty.. They scheduled a felony dismissal date for August 2nd. What does that mean?

While the judge found that the State had offered some evidence that your boyfriend had committed a crime (probable cause), she might have doubted that the State could ultimately prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The State has until Aug. 2nd to file charges in the Circuit Court.
