Dodged that case

Most commonly means to somehow find a way out of a serious charge (murder, robbery, drug dealing, assault), usually with the help of a top tier lawyer or entity of authority.

Richard : * shoots Sean and kills him, ends up going to court and wins the case *

Matt: can’t believe you won that case bro

Richard: yeah bro I know, they were gonna give me 40+ years, but thanks to my Jewish lawyer I dodged that case.
