What Right Law Group attorneys say

Now we're gonna go before a judge, the judge is an impartial third party, the judge is not allowed to be involved in negotiations, the judge is not allowed to offer plea negotiations of any kind or plea offers. The judge can't say I think this is dumb, it's over.

But what it would do is it would undermine the adversarial system that we have built here in America where it has to be two parties negotiating or being adverse parties to work through this case, and the judge has to be the impartial person who takes no place in that negotiation. So generally speaking, no, a judge cannot just dismiss your case.
