No. That's for a jury to decide.

There may be avenue problem but other than that the DA does not have to toss it out.

If the judge decides that the evidence was not believeable he does not have to find you guiltyl

It's possible that the DA misreporting the evidence could be grounds for dismissal, but I would need far more information than what you have provided to accurately answer your question. You really should have a lawyer for any criminal charge. If you can't afford one, the court will appoint one for you. Therefore, there is really no reason why you should not have a lawyer advocating for you in criminal court.
