Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
What is a Motion to dismiss and suppress?
I had criminal charges filed against me, went to the preliminary hearing and chose to have a jury trial. On my case status it states that a jury trial was prayed but then a few days later it states ''Motion to dismiss and supp ress''. I have sooo much evidence of my innocence, so I was thinking this possibly means they (who pressed the charges) are trying to drop them now? I have never spoken to my lawyer about filing anything like this either. I know nothing about criminal law or how charges work, I have never been charged with anything before these false allegations.

Re: What is a Motion to dismiss and suppress?
Your lawyer has probably done everything necessary. Motions to dismiss the charging document and to suppress evidence against you are standard.
