I would imagine that in a really egregious case of a prosecutor hiding witnesses or information the judge could dismiss the case on a due process basis, but I think that would have to be REALLY bad.
How are they proceeding in this case without any direct evidence other than the sworn statements of three known felons? Isn't that a bit weak even for Florida?
