Statutes of Limitations

A mistrial is when something happens during your case's trial that renders the trial invalid through some type of error.

For instance, if the jury can not come to a verdict, or if someone working on the trial did something or didn't declare something that is against the ethics of the court/law.

Example:Someone on the jury knew the defendant or plantif, or had a resentment or connection to the case or the law in general.

Or maybe one of the attorneys is doing something unethical, and etcetera.

You are NOT found innocent and/or the case is NOT dismissed if a mistrial is declared. It simply means the prosecution now has to start all over, and a new trial and jury has to be created, and is often now hindered greatly.

It is REALLY GOOD news if you're the one being charged in the trial (usually).

California has set the statute of limitations at 4 years. A credit card is an open ended account. That will be from the last communications from the debtor. Please note that the credit card may be based on a different jurisdiction which could be longer! Check your agreement for the applicable jurisdiction.

Federal laws specify how long you must retain the documentation to support the filing of income tax returns.

For most taxpayers, this period is three years from the original due date of the return or the date the return is filed, whichever is later. For instance, if you filed your 2006 Form 1040 April 17, 2007 or sooner (disregarding the extended NE "storm" due date), the IRS has until April 17, 2010, to audit the return and assess a deficiency if necessary.

The statute of limitations period extends to six years if a return includes a substantial understatement of income (defined as omitting income greater than 25% of the amount reported on the return). There is no statute of limitations if a taxpayer fails to file a tax return or commits fraud. A taxpayer is considered to have committed fraud if he/she submits a false return or if there is a willful attempt to evade tax.

If a required return is not filed, the records must be kept forever, as the statute of limitations does not begin until the form is filed. Failure to keep adequate records is a separate violation from failing to pay or to file.

There may be non-tax reasons to retain these records. If you are unsure you should contact a financial advisor and/or tax specialist.

The statute of limitations on a case dismissed without prejudice should be the same as the statute of limitations for the charges. Being dismissed without prejudice just means either the plaintiff or the state has dropped the case for now, but still have the right to bring it back. For example, if they dismiss a murder case without prejudice, there's no statute of limitations. They can bring it back at any time. For personal injury, the length varies by state. It could be anywhere between 1-6 years where they could bring the case back. Check the charge number for your state. You could probably Google "statute of limitations (state) (charge)". Many states list their statutes online. Hope this helps

Every State has in "inter-state compact" when it comes to extradition. What really matters to you is the severity of the crime. Each warrant is different. Unless its a very serious crime your being sought for, I wouldn't worry about it.

To be more specific, Minnesota is quite lenient in these matters. Unless the crime is a violent crime or a crime against a person, most warrants handed down by Judges as a result of a complaint filed will state "Execute in Minnesota Only" "Do Not Extradite" There are some that are a bit more serious but not to the level of violent or crimes against a person in which a warrant issued can say "Execute in Boarder States" And ALL warrants in Minnesota have territorial Limits that prevent the execution of a warrant on Federal Reservations (i.e. Indian Reservations) In these cases, cooperation is required by the Reservation Police.

There really is none. A traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

It depends on the type of claim involved because there no single statute of limitations. For example, Florida has a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury and a 5-year statute for breach written contract. The Wrongful Death Statute is 1-year.
