Default Motion For Dismissal
My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

I have been charged with (3) counts of felony mortgage fraud as a result of acts committed by my ex-wife in my name. I have email records with her confessing to ALL charges in great detail and attempting to validate her reasoning for it. She is now not willing to confess, not fully knowing the physical evidence proving her guilt. In addition, her former employer whom terminated her for the same acts is willing to testify to that fact. The former employer where the fraud was committed involving (2) of the (3) counts against me indicates that his name was forged on my transaction. He also indicated she more than likely used and forged his name on the transaction because one spouse is NEVER allowed to handle transactions for another spouse, which is why when the investigation was being conducted it was not discovered she had anything to do with the transaction. I will be presenting this and other physical evidence to the District Attorney to prove my innocence. As for the 3rd charge, the evidence relating to the other two charges will also prove she was involved with that count as well. My questions are as follows:

1) Shouldn't this type of evidence be enough to request a Motion for Dismissal if the DA doesn't choose NOT to drop the charges?

2) Are email conversations admissable as evidence?

3) If the DA and their investigators do not follow up on evidence provided to prove innocence, is this a form of denying me my due Process and/or Suppression of Evidence?

4) If my Due Process was denied to me or evidence ignored, wouldn't this me legitimate grounds for dismissal?

5) If my Due Process was denied do I have grounds to pursue civil action against the DA's office and investigator? (refer to case relating to evidence proving innocence ignored/suppressed resulting in Michael Nifong being disbarred and sued in Civil Court)

That's up to the D.A., not us. Work with a criminal defense lawyer.

2) Are email conversations admissable as evidence?
Emails are generally admissible as evidence, although obviously the claim can be made that they were edited or faked. Work with your lawyer to try to get electronic records that might prove their validity.

No.

Work with your lawyer to establish your defense.

The D.A. does not have to chase every bit of evidence a defendant claims is important. Work with your lawyer.
