Motion to Dismiss
The court, on motion of a defendant or of its own
initiative, shall at the close of the evidence offered by the prosecution order the
dismissal of one (1) or more violations charged in the summons if the evidence is

convincing evidence. If a defendant's motion to dismiss is not granted, the defendant
may offer evidence without having reserved the right to offer such evidence.
