If there is no evidence, no witnesses, no statements, nothing against you, then the Prosecutor would not have much of a case. If so, charges should be dismissed. If not dismissed, it would be tough to get a jury to convict you if there is no evidence. If there really is no evidence whatsoever, an Attorney would be able to work to get the charges dismissed without having to go to trial. Report Abuse

Whether there are any witnesses or evidence is up to the prosecutor to decide. What the defendant thinks is irrelevant.
