I was charged with vandalism in October of 2011. I was charged with 2 counts. The 1st one says Guilty/Convicted 594(A). The other says "Dismissed or Not Prosecuted"594(A).. My question is what exactly does "Dismissed or Not Prosecuted". This might be a stupid question but I know courts and lawyers have there own ways of defining stuff :)
