Nolle prosequi - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Nolle prosequi (abbreviated nol. pros.) is a Latin phrase, which directly translates to �not to wish to prosecute.� Nolle prosequi is a legal notice or entry of record that the prosecutor or plaintiff has decided to abandon the prosecution or lawsuit.

A nolle prosequi may be entered in a criminal or a civil suit any time after the charges are brought and before a verdict is returned or a plea entered.�A nolle prosequi is not an acquittal, so the double jeopardy clause does not apply, and a defendant may later be reindicted on the same charges.�
