Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

my brother have been going through this court situation for almost 2 years they chareged him with possesion of a firearm by convicted felon it was a nolle prosequie the officer refiled the charges in february. since then he has been to court 4 times the officer hasnt showed up twice not one wittness has came forward and we would like to know how many time can they keep postponeing this we are trying to put this situation behind us they want him to plea for disorderly conduct but that will be a violation because he is on federal parole. what would be in his best interest can they throw it out due to lack of evidence police not showing up witnesses ect.. how many times can they keep postponing it from both sides

It is hard to say for sure, but if the police officer did not show up, your attorney should have demanded that the charges be FOREVER dismised. I think you should contact other criminal attorneys.

I would be happy to take a look at the case with a free consultation. Your zip code is outside of Virginia. In what part of Virginia is this going on?
