Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

No Evidence

So Basically if there is no evidence to prove that this person is guilty in this aggravated assault charge. They will eventually have to let him go right? Because they are holding him in jail on that 100,000 dollar bond and they haven't even filed the case. So all I want to know is is there a GOOD CHANCE that they would dismiss this charge? In your opinion? YES OR NO AND WHY?

PRIOR TO THE LAST QUESTION I ASK ON 01/01/07:

If a person is being held in jail on a 100,000 dollar bond for a rape to a child charge but they have no evidence of the rape taking place meaning they have no human fluid found on her in that time period or no sign of anything such as a bruce, etc, only her word against his and she is 16 yrs age, what are the chances of his case being thrown out or him being rules not guilty of that crime???

Re: No Evidence

You are asking lawyers on this site to tell the future, without the facts. There is NO way to give you a reasonable answer, without reviewing all the facts/file of the case. It is not uncommon for a grand jury to indict a person on 'no evidence'. It is not uncommon for a prosecutor to take a case to trial on 'no evidence'. They have even been known to win such a case on occasion. There is no Yes or No answer to your question. The criminal justice system is complicated, and you want a simplified response -- there isn't one.
