From Lustberg Law Offices, LLC – Signs Your Case Will Be Dismissed offers a deep dive into the red flags and legal pitfalls that may cause criminal charges to be dropped before trial. This episode dissects how dismissals work in New Jersey and walks through real-world legal mechanics that can make or break a case.
In the first segment, we break down the criminal justice process in New Jersey—how cases move from arrest to arraignment, the roles that prosecutors and judges play, and where discretionary judgments about dismissal may arise. We map out how timing, procedure, and institutional decisions can shift the trajectory of a case.
Next, we explore common triggers for dismissal: procedural errors like incorrect charge filings or expired statutes of limitations; constitutional violations such as Miranda rights failures, unlawful search and seizure, or violations of the right to a speedy trial; and evidentiary weaknesses including insufficient proof, lack of probable cause, and conflicting witness testimony. We also examine how defenses like self-defense, alibi, and entrapment can strengthen efforts for dismissal.
Finally, we discuss when and how to bring on legal representation. With the stakes so high, having the right criminal defense team at Lustberg Law Offices, LLC can help you identify dismissal opportunities and protect your rights every step of the way.
