There is no cut-off point. It could occur at ANY time prior to the judge or jury actually delivering its verdict. After that the only option would be a motion to vacate, or an appeal.
Technically, you can sue them. However, you probably won't win. The state has the authority to determine whether or not to bring charges. An individual simply contacts the state and reports illegal activity. The state then makes the determination about whether to file charges and to pursue a criminal prosecution. Even though you were later acquitted, if the case went as far as to trial, there was probably sufficient evidence to suggest that you may have committed the crime (more than just one witness's testimony.) It does sometimes occur that a bad case is brought to trial by an overzealous DA, but normally prosecutors are overly burdened and are forced to choose only the "best" cases to bring to trial. There is a civil tort for filing a false police report, but you would have to prove that the statements this person made to the police were deliberately made up and that you suffered harm as a result. Simply being found not guilty after trial does not conclusively prove that the statements were false, but rather that they weren't proved to be true beyond a reasonable doubt.
Not so far.
I may be wrong but, as far as I am aware, you can not opt out of the free trial.

It is too early to know since he hasn't had a trial yet. It will depend on what the prosecution wants to do. If they feel it is a capital murder case they may decide the death penalty is appropriate.
trial by combat. gave the accused quite literally a fighting chance. trial by fire and water were far more unfair
it doesn't
In his criminal trial for the murders of his ex-wife Nichole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman he was aquitted of all charges. In his kidnapping and armed robbery charges' he was found guilty and is doing his time at a max. security prison in Nevada.
Unsure as to exactly what is being asked. The charge of DUI doesn't have a statute of limitations, especially if you've fled prosecution. (Note: be sure to check your license status, if you fled prosecution you are undoubtedly in a suspened or revoked status). As far as DUI on your driving record is concerned - your driving record is a PERMANENT record and the charge will not "go away."
