About half of adult felony cases brought to prosecutors by police are dismissed through a "nolle prosequi.".
"Nolle Prosequi" which is used in Latin for "unwilling to seek after". It refers to the passage on the record of a lawful activity signifying that the prosecutor or offended party will continue no further in an activity or suit either all in all or as to some consider or to at least one of a few respondents.
