Defense counsel’s motion in a criminal case to dismiss the case based on insufficiency of evidence
At the end of the prosecution’s case, a defendant may move the court to dismiss the prosecutor’s case because the evidence fails to prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt and that the defendant committed the crime.
From an employment search context, be forewarned that even though the criminal charges were dismissed, this does not negate the arrest nor the actual charges claimed against you.
Furthermore, even though the defendant is presumed innocent under our justice system, this does not mean the defendant was found not guilty. All of these facts remain a public record.
