This happened in Massachusetts , my lawyer had it dismissed without prejudice once then it was appealed . It is in the district court but I have not been arrested or indicted . I thought you had to be indicted or info. from the superior court to show readiness for trial . Since I was not arrested does this mean its a misdemeanor ? Do you think the DA is looking for a plea ?

You were charged with a felony so it stays a felony. It does not automatically reduce. However, you have not been convicted of a felony.
The DA may be looking for a plea if the evidence is not strong enough. (Actually, they look for pleas all of the time in order to streamline the process. Just because you plea does not mean you will get off lightly.)
Good luck!

This just means that you are probably still being investigated. Don't get your hopes up too soon until the court completely dismisses your case........
