Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Wrongfully acussed

I was indicted on a felonious assault charge and intimidation. I have solid proof and witness stating this person is lying.She has not showed up for no trials or pre-trial. Can my lawyer ask for a motion to dismiss? what is a motion of alibi and a motion to supress?

Can i sue for wrongful imprisonment ?

Re: Wrongfully acussed

As long as there is a victim stating that an offense happened, the case will go to trial. Dismissals are extremely rare in criminal cases since it is the jury that makes the credibility decision. Once the case is over and you win, you may sue the victim for monetary damages, if you can PROVE that she was lying. Feel free to contact me directly.
