Also, I know that libel and slander mean the same thing only one is verbal and one is written. Which is which, or is that wrong?

In law, the phrase without prejudice means that a claim, lawsuit, or proceeding has been brought to a temporary end but that no legal rights or privileges have been determined, waived, or lost by the result. For example, if a party brings a lawsuit in small claims court but discovers that the claim is greater than the amount for that court to have jurisdiction, the lawsuit can be dismissed "without prejudice". This means that the dismissal is no bar to bringing a new lawsuit in a court that does have jurisdiction.
By contrast with prejudice means that a party's legal rights have in fact been determined and lost. To continue the same example, if instead the court had jurisdiction, but the plaintiff did not appear for the trial, the court would dismiss the case "with prejudice". That dismissal is a judgment against the plaintiff "on the merits" of the case, and extinguishes the claim that was being sued over. However, this does not prevent an appeal or a trial de novo if ordered by a higher court.

If a case is dismissed "with prejudice" that means it cannot be resurrected or brought back up. It is gone forever. A case dismissed "without prejudice" can be brought back. Libel is written. Slander is verbal.

Libel and slander are not the same thing in the way you say.
You cna look them up at wikipedia for a start on what they mean.
But your main question:
with prejudice mans that the case can not be briought to the court again, even though it was not fully settled this time. it means literally, that the caase is "pre-judged", and since judged cases are done and over with, that is that.
without prejudice means the opposite. The case can be brought again.

'With' prejudice means the case cannot be refiled. 'Without' prejudice means that the case can be refiled (for instance to fix some defect or in light of additional evidence).
Libel is written and slander is spoken.

you will probable get extra precise and useful solutions in case you hit upon the state wherein this got here approximately. case in point, if it had got here approximately in California (the single state i know isn't the state of conviction), you'll be able to desire to not be charged with a legal. in spite of the shown fact that, if it may desire to be charged as a legal, the statute of limitations ideal to felonies might practice whether the can charge became filed as a misdemeanor. See the themes as quickly as we don't know the state?
