If a defendant flee a drugtrafficing charge how long would that person have to b gone for the charges to be insufficient?
Insufficient information given with which to answer. Federal charge? State charge? Quantity of narcotics? Type of narcotics? The charge will never become "insufficient," but there may be a 'statute of limitations' on the offense, after the expiration of which, you cannot be charged. The bad news on that is, the time limit stops if you flee out of state.
