"Deputy Prosecutor Lucas Burns moved for the dismissal on Friday, explaining to the court that the state wasn’t ready to proceed with a preliminary hearing against Kaipo.
Kaipo’s court-appointed defense counsel, Christopher Bridges, did not object to the motion to dismiss the charges without prejudice, which leaves prosecutors the authority to refile the charges at a later date."
There is a deadline that they couldn't meet so they dismissed them and will refile when they are ready to proceed.
They could also present their evidence to a Grand Jury and skip the preliminary hearing.
