If you get pulled over for speeding, the judge doesn’t dismiss the case because you eventually slowed down.
It actually happens a lot, but it’s not the judge who dismisses it, but the prosecutor’s office.
There are plenty of times where the prosecutor pursues bogus charges to intimidate a citizen into taking a plea deal of a lesser charge. And if the citizen fights to go to a jury trial, the prosecutor will drop the charges so it can’t go on record that they are clearly acting corruptly to protect their own.
Like this case where a citizen was arrested for calling a cop a dumbass and afterwards the prosecutor attempted to trump up the charges to aggravated assault and then dismissed charges like a week before his jury trial.
not only did I slow down your honor. I came to a complete stop when I got to my destination. I mean that is above and beyond. A complete! Stop!

Discovery is still needed to uncover exactly why the government took so long to do what they said they totally couldn’t do but suddenly became able to, coincidentally after they found other reasons to detain him.
Waves hand. “Discovery is no longer needed.”
Judge: “Discovery is definitely needed. Jedi mind tricks do not work in any courtroom.”
Now do it to every case.
