A: Your question seems to be whether a criminal charge filed due to certain circumstances is automatically dismissed due to a change in those circumstances. The answer is no. The state (or commonwealth) files charges and is therefore the entity that would generally dismiss them. Contact an attorney licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia to discuss this further.
