A dismissal with prejudice? How does that work? Can you share your legal analysis?
“Dismissal with prejudice” means Flynn “wins.” It is not the same as an acquittal, but close. The judge dismisses the case because of some error or other reason, but the government cannot refile the case.
If a case is dismissed, it is usually for lack of evidence.
If a case is dismissed “with prejudice” it means that the case was so bad you could go after the accusing party for damages the allegation caused (usually legal expenses)
I am not a lawyer, I don’t even play one on TV... but I think that’s correct.
