The ability of the State to refile dismissed charges against you depends on the statute of limitations and the manner in which the case is dismissed. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A case as old as your is probably past the statute of limitations.#N#Cases can conceivably go on forever, although you have a right to speedy trial if...
With all due respect to the first attorney, he does not practice in Wisconsin. I agree with the second answer.#N#Also, keep in mind that the time your case has been pending does not count towards any statute of limitations. The time limit for the statute tolled when the complaint...
if it gets dismissed without prejudice, then yes you can be recharged. Most felonies can be charged up to 6 years (sexual assaults are longer); most misdemeanors can be charged up to 3 years.
The answer is, it depends. If its a felony charge, the state has 175 days to file charges (technically, they have 175 to file the official charging document known as an “Information”). If the charges are a misdemeanor, the state has 90 days to file.
Video evidence is being taped over, dispatch calls are typically kept for 30 days, and most private security cameras hold their data for even less time than that.

The government is not your friend, and they’re not going to help you through the trauma of an arrest. And, after the trauma of an arrest, it can be stressful waiting to see what or when or if charges will be filed. On the inside of the government machine designed to rack up convictions, think about what information the prosecutor is reviewing ...
Vy Tummin is charged with assault and battery on a police officer. Vy claims that she reacted in self-defense to the police officer's use of illegal force. The prosecutor plans to show a videotape of the incident to the jury. The prosecutor also has prepared a file memorandum as a self-reminder about what portions of the tape to emphasize during the trial and why those portions are especially significant. Vy's lawyer demands to see the videotape and all the prosecutor's trial memoranda. Discovery rules allow Vy's lawyer to see the videotape. But the prosecutor won't have to turn over the memorandum. The memo is the prosecutor's work product because it contains strategic analysis.
Discovery is likely a significant reason why at least 90% of criminal cases settle before trial. Issues regarding settlement aside, discovery is intended to help defendants in the sense that prosecutors must hand over certain information that's helpful to the defense.
If speedy trial is not waived by his attorney, then the state has 90 days on misdemeanor and 175 days on a felony to bring them to trial. The state is allowed certain short extensions past that for good cause. If he is being held without bond, then he needs to talk to his public defender right away so that they can talk strategy for trial.#N#More
If this person is still in jail after 120 days, then the State has probably already filed formal charges. You need to find out if the Public Defender has "waived the right to a speedy trial." If not, then the State has approximately six months to bring the Defendant to trial.
The state has to file charges within 40 days of the arrest. Once charges are filed, a trial date is scheduled. However, the trial date can be changed if there are any continuances. If this person is on "no bond" status, then he will sit in jail until his trial is disposed of. He should consider filing a demand for speedy trial...
Hearsay is formally defined as an out of court statement that is being used for the truth of the matter asserted. You should understand it as the statement of a third party who is not present at court that day.
Call the judge “your honor” and refer to the opposing party with respect, no matter how much you may really dislike them. This will show the judge that you are fair and reasonable and will make it easy for him to rule in your favor. Good luck!
In a formal hearing, however, each side will be given a period of time where the floor is theirs and they can present evidence, testimony and then a formal argument. The formal hearing will resemble a small trial.
