Re: case that was dismissed

There is something wrong with this picture. Someone has made a mistake. It may be the police. It is more likely that it was your brother.

What makes you say the case was dismissed? Why was it dismissed? Was it dismissed without prejudice? That means it can be reinstated?

I would not count on a dismissal, or any defense based on the dismissal. Get your brother quality legal representation. NOW.
