HookedonGriz: "Fitzgerald, 283 Mont. 162, 166-67, 940 P.2d 108, 111 (1997) .... It appears to be you that doesn't understand criminal charges can be, and are in fact often ordered, dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled, which is exactly what this prosecutor asserted to the reporter. State v. Strong, 2010 MT 163, 357 Mont. 114 (Mont., 2010).
Your earlier ramapage citing to court opinions somehow supporting whatever it is you are trying to say is bizarre, to say the least.
In the first, the case was whether a statute requiring misdemeanors to be brought to trial within six months could be overcome if additional statutory criteria were met for instances if a defendant was not brought to trial within the six month period. The case was resolved in favor of the state in that it had met one of the statutorily prescribed exceptions.
In the second case, the statute requiring that a defendant be brought "promptly" before a judge for the reading of charges and rights was brought into question when some poor guy sat in jail for 42 days without any such hearing, and a public defender "happened to notice" that nothing was being done. The case, then, was addressed to what was the proper remedy when a defendant has admittedly not been brought before a judge "promptly?" The State admitted he had not. In the meantime, a trial had been held and the defendant convicted. What was the remedy for the failure to initially make a "prompt" initial appearance?
In the words of the Supreme Court:
"The judgment, sentence and conviction in this case are reversed and the case is remanded to the District Court with instructions to dismiss the information without prejudice."
Neither of the cases you pompously cited had the faintest thing to do with a plea agreement, a deferred prosecution, or a deferred imposition of sentence. Nothing relevant whatsoever.
Your legal skills are at least as good as your football knowledge.
