Q: I am SMI and went crazy and got a f6. No one was hurt. I am suicidal about this. Can suicidalness get case dismissed?
I am smi. I thought drug traffickers were trafficking children. I am now suicidal about my felony. Can my suicidalness get my case dismissed?
A: No. In almost every situation, you cannot get a case dismissed due to suicidal inclinations or attempts. That is not a legal defense to your charges. There are situations where the life circumstance of someone can change and that could cause a case to be dismissed. In one example, someone is charged with selling drugs but a month later they are in a major car accident, hospitalized, and will never regain full mental or physical capabilities. In that case we were able to get the drug sales case dismissed because the life circumstances changed so much. These are rare situations and you should not ever use your suicidal tendencies to try and get this outcome. Get professional help, both legally and psychologically.
