I don't know if you or the post above have any knowledge of the criminal justice system in the USA. I've been in the front-row for thousands of criminal cases and the number that got dismissed before trial, not based on evidence suppression which doesn't apply in this case, is pretty much zero. I got one dismissed based on perjured grand jury testimony, and another based on an indictment flaw, but neither of those things would apply here.
Whether a jury would convict. Juries are much more complicated than most people imagine. For a start, the prosecutor is going to show the statute and the evidence and show how the person violated the statute. There might not be a proper legal defense.
You might be thinking of jury nullification where a jury acquits a defendant even where they are proven guilty, simply because the charges are bullshit. This almost never happens. Although it really should happen much more often.
