Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Getting a Criminal Case Dismissed

I had court today for some false criminal charges brought upon me by some police officers. I did nothing wrong and the video surveillance that I have proves this. The officers did not show up in court and I wanted to the case to be thrown out, but the judge said no because I didn�t have an attorney. I was granted a Continuance. I was wondering could I get a Motion to Dismiss? What are my chances?

You are likely not going to get this dismissed out of court, BUT get a lawyer ASAP to make sure this is dismissed IN court. Even if you are not guilty, a lot of prosecutors will try to get a conviction just to win and help their career.
