/ˈnoʊli/ – Verb
Definition: xch NOLLE PROSEQUI.
A more thorough explanation: “Nolle” is a legal term derived from the Latin Phrase “nolle prosequi,” which means “unwilling to prosecute.” In legal terms, “nolle” refers to a prosecutor’s decision to voluntarily drop or dismiss criminal charges against a defendant. This decision is typically made when the prosecutor determines that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with the case or for other reasons such as witness unavailability or in the interest of justice.
Example: The prosecutor decided to enter a nolle prosequi, indicating that they would no longer pursue the charges against the defendant.
