So the Defense just sprayed and prayed and for some reason this one worked?
No, the judge got her marching orders and threw the case out over any excuse that was left.
You raise as many motions as possible to dismiss a case. That's normal. If argument A doesn't work, then you go to arhument B and so on. And to save everyone time many jurisdictions require you to make all your initial pleas to dismiss the case at once. Then whichever the judge deems to have merit move forward. (Exceptions being newly discovered evidence, precedent being set in similar higher courts, etc.)
