Not true, here in California I bail out people who get the charges dropped sometimes before their first court appearance. So this person now does not have to appear.
or, the person is arrested, bailed out, and then no charges are filed. Quite common actually.
AnswerNo.The accused will have to make an appearance regardless of whether the prosecutor's office requests the charges to be dismissed.
Charges can only be dismissed by the prosecutor with the consent of the presiding judge.

Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court.

If your mother filed assault charges against your boyfriend but later dropped them, it is unlikely that the case will go to court.

However, it is advisable to consult with an attorney for specific advice based on the jurisdiction and circumstances involved.
