Your question is "can" they drop the mayhem charge? Yes, it can be dismissed if it wasn't sufficiently proven at the preliminary hearing.

If you're asking "will they" dismiss the mayhem charge - that's a whole different question. Without knowing what evidence was presented, most importantly the severity of the victim's injuries, there's absolutely no way to guess.
