    Defining case details/charges disposition
    Looking up " criminal case information- case details " where it explains "charges" it says under charge disposition: DISM-FURTH. OF JUSTICE and the other charge says: DISM-UNSUFF. CAUSE
    What does that mean?

    Hello r:

    It looks like the first one is a dismissal in the furtherance of justice... The second one looks like a dismissal due to insufficient something or other.

    What does " in the furtherance of justice" mean?

    And also if they did dismiss all charges will they be erased from my record?

    Hello again, red:

    In the furtherance of justice means somebody thought it wasn't a good idea to prosecute you...

    Your record only contains convictions, so charges like these that were dismissed won't show up.
