Nol pros is short for nolle prosequi or "not willing to pursue". It is a term used in legal settings to describe the situation where the prosecution decides to drop charges against a defendant. There are a few synonyms that can be used instead of nol pros, such as "dismissal without prejudice", "withdrawal of charges", and "abandonment". All these terms refer to the same legal action where the prosecution decides to not pursue the case any further. It is important to note that a nol pros or any of its synonyms does not mean that the defendant is innocent, rather the charges against them are dropped due to various reasons such as lack of evidence or a plea bargain.
