QUESTION
Can I request dismissal with prejudice due to threats to my witness for a DUI case with no evidence except for hearsay?
Asked on Apr 20th, 2014 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
Can my case be or (should) be dropped if the testifying officers threaten my witness to not testify moments before my jury trial? It didn't even happen due to dismissal without prejudice because they had no real/physical evidence, just hearsay.

If anyone is involved in trying to get your witness not to testify in court, the police need to know about it as well as the court as soon as possible. Hopefully you have a lawyer representing you and if not you should get one right away.

You should report the conduct to the court and ask for a dismissal. This should've done through a lawyer.
