If you are referring to the statute of limitations, it depends on the crime. Misdemeanors charges usually have to be filed on withing a year. Felonies vary from 2 to 3 years to forever, depending on the type. 3rd Degree felonies usually have to be initiated within 2 years, while murders can be prosecuted at any time. If you are asking about how long after an arrest does the person have to go to trial, in some states it is 90 days, some 180 days, but if the person waives speedy trial it can be years.
