Depends on the crime. Murder is forever. Drugs is usually 90 days. Look up you state laws and see. As usual courts can pull off some bs and re issue charges after dismissing them. Your praying on long shot if you think they will forget you? They can put in system and you would never know unless you call and see if you have warrant.

How long do you have to fill criminal charges against a states attorney for committing perjury?

As a private individual you cannot 'file' criminal charges against anyone. You can attempt to bring the facts to the attention of the prosecutor's superiors - if you can present enough proof, perhaps they will institute a charge of perjury. HOWEVER you can file a civil suit against the prosecutor for false or malicious prosecution.

In Texas can a prosecutor refile case at a higher charge without new offense?

Yes, and they often do; so long as the trial or announcement as ready for trial has not been done. Then the defendant may object to the changes, and challenge the panel.Added: If subsequent investigation by law enforcment discloses new evidence that the original offense was, in fact, a more serious crime than originally charged, the prosecutor can re-file the case with an enhanced charge supported by the new evidence.


If I didn't get charged with a DUI can I still be found guilty?

No. In order to be tried with any charge, you must first be charged with it. If you were never charged with DUI you can't be found guilty of that charge. HOWEVER - before you actually go to trial the prosecutor can file a motion with the court to AMEND the charge, and at that time amend the charge to DUI - IF they have evidence to sustain it.

Can a District Court Prosecutor add a misdemeanor charge to a felony charge?

Can a District Court Prosecutor add a misdemeanor charge to a felony charge in Michigan just on hearsay and without any evidence? I always assumed that only a Circuit Court could add additional charges after all evidence has been presented to the court.
