Re: statute

The statute of limitations only applies to the filing of a criminal charge; not to when an arrest, arraignment, and trial/disposition takes place. You are already on probation, so the statute of limitations (barring stale filings) cannot possibly help you. Get a lawyer and you may be surprised at what OTHER defenses may assist you.
