Re: Speedy Trial Motion to dimiss
Your question is one that focuses on the statute of limitations of the crime you have been accuses off.
Since you didn't state what offense it was I can only give you a general answer.
Misdemeanor offenses have to be filed by a complaint and information within two years of your arrest or the alleged act occurred.
Felony offenses vary. Most felonies have a statute of limitations of three years however there are other crimes that have longer limitations. There is no limitation on murder.
If my office can be of any assistance feel free to contact us.
