"Any information or indictment charging an individual with the commission of an offense shall be filed within thirty days from the date on which such individual was arrested or served with a summons in connection with such charges. If an individual has been charged with a felony in a district in which no grand jury has been in session during such thirty-day period, the period of time for filing of the indictment shall be extended an additional thirty days."

The time frame for presenting an indictment for murder varies by jurisdiction. In general, there is no specific time limit set by law. However, the prosecution is typically expected to present an indictment within a reasonable time after the crime has been committed. Factors such as the complexity of the case and the availability of evidence can impact the timeline.

Is there a statute of limitations for attempted murder in the state of Alabama?
Alabama has a long list of felonies, including murder, with no set statute of limitations. Only one state has set a statute of limitations on murder. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.
After a person is arrested and charged with a felony is there a time limit in which the prosecuting attorney must try that person and how long do they have to obtain an indictment after said arrest?
This may just be State 2 State, but I believe if you bail out, you give up your right to a speedy trial. You may want to check your jurisdiction for that. Life is reserved for murder and everything alse has a statute of Limitations.

How long does a indictment out of circuit court last before it cant be served?
An "indictment" is issued in an individual's name, which means that you have been identified and the Grand Jury has found that 'probable cause' has been established for your arrest and prosecution. Depending on your state, and the offense with which you are charged, the Statutes of Limitations varies. The state you reside in must be known and what the nature of the crime was for any specific timeframe to be given.
how long can you be held without being indicted?
An investigation may run for years, and an indictment would not be filed until the investigation completes. The 'clock' on your right to a speedy trial does not begin until after you have been arrested. There are time limits, however, in which charges may be filed (statutes of limitations). These limits depend on the state in which they occurred and the nature of the offense (there is no statute of limitations on murder, however).
