can you have more than 1 deferred prosecutions if arrests are made within a certain period of time?

That depends on the laws of your state and any conditions placed on the deferred prosecution in the first case.

I believe that here in the US it is three Felony convictions.  So if you were charged with three felony counts of posession, or sales, etc... then yes.

Yes, it depends on the laws of the state where you are tried and sentenced.  And if you, or someone you know, was arrested for that, you'd need to know a few more details bfore you could get much of annswer.

If that is really what the DA said then yes he is lying.  You are entirely entitled to view all the evidence that the People have against you, whether you have a lawyer or not.\n\nAs for the timing issue, it is not uncommon for defendants to not be given their discovery until after the arraignment.  Remember, the arraignment is simply the time when you enter a plea.  You don't need all the information at that point in time.  But you are entitled to all of the information before trial.

I got the following information from http://www.uscriminalcheck.com/faq_Ans.htm\n\nWhat does "Deferred Adjudication" mean?\nAdjudication is an agreement between the defendant and the courts to clear the charge from the docket. For this to occur, the defendant has agreed to complete some sort of arrangement, such as a fine, community service, etc. If the defendant fails to hold up their end of the agreement, then he or she will be convicted of the charge and sentenced accordingly. \n\nDeferred Adjudication is generally not considered a criminal conviction.

Normally no, unless you are a milloinaire and pay an attorney 1000' of dollars in retainers each year.\n\nBut in general they have set office hours and that is about the only time you get to talk to them.\n\nIf actually arrested, many have on call attorneys that can show up at questioning.

Yes and No.  It depend on what type of case you are testifying for.\nFor example, if it was a drug related case, and who you are testifying against, there is no limit.  As I said, depends on the case.

In most cases the prosecutor will not begin any action until a Police report has been made. Contact the Police\nFraud unit, they are your best source of information.  You may have a Civil case which they can not get involved with.

Certain laws have no time limit regarding their prosecution. They are first degree murder, attempt to commit first degree murder, second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, concealment of homicidal death, treason, arson, aggravated arson and forgery. The time limitations for other charges vary depending on the punishment and type of offense.\n\nA prosecution may be commenced at any time for any offense involving sexual conduct or sexual penetration as defined by Section 12-12 in which the DNA profile of the offender is obtained and entered into a DNA database within 10 years after the commission of the offense and the identity of the offender is unknown after a diligent investigation by law enforcement authorities. This applies only if the victim reported the offense to law enforcement authorities within 2 years after the commission of the offense unless a longer period for reporting the offense to law enforcement authorities is provided in Section 3-6 or if the victim is murdered during the course of the offense or \ndies within 2 years after the commission of the offense.\n\nFelony prosecutions must be commenced within three (3) years from the date the offense was committed. For misdemeanor offenses, the State has one (1) year and six (6) months from the commission of the offense to bring a charge against a defendant. A statute describing an offense may state a different time limitation from these general rules.\n\nIn a theft case, the statute of limitations begins to run at the time of the original taking of the property even though the defendant continues to exert control over the property.\n\nA prosecution for attempt to commit first degree murder may be commenced within seven years after commission of the offense.

The real answer is that if a jury trial is not asked for within a specified time limit, it is waived.  They ask before they know if they want one or not to preserve their client's right to one.

caution?\n\nif you got some sort of court proceding, you'll still have a record for the police and anyone of importance to see, but to other your slate is wiped clean, but it also depends on the offense

Yes to question1 and yes to question 2 you can be charged with any crime but that doesn't necesarily mean you will be convicted. and you should consult a GOOID attorney

It does mean that you have to be convicted of the same crime, just 3 felonies. Harsh, but someone knows what they are up against from the beginning.

You only have 1 preliminary hearing in which a trial is set with 20 days for court case, 10 days if it is a felony. Evidence at preliminary hearing is only presented once according to your law. You can appear for setting of trial date numerous times. In my county there is an average of 12-14 month delay for trial \n( continuances ).

It varies by jurisdiction, each state has its own set of rules.  It also varies if the defendant is in jail or is out on bail.  \nGenerally, if the defendant is in jail, trial is usually set within three or four weeks (again some states have shorter time limits and some have longer).  If the defendant is out on bail, trial is usually set from a month to two months out.\nHOWEVER, the defendant can waive the right to a speedy trial.  Defendants will do this for any number of reasons, the most common being: Their attorney needs time to file motions to suppress evidence, their attorney needs time to prepare (or just does not have any free space on his or her calendar for a month or two, or three), waiting may result in witnesses not being as anxious to show up in court, etc.\nIn some jurisdictions, the DA can request that the court move the trial past the speedy trial deadline.  DA may request this if the investigation is still going on and other defendants may be indicted.  In some instances, the Courts have been so backlogged that cased just couldn't get tried in time.\nIn general, in the celebrated cases, the Defendant has wanted the trial postponed, not the DA.

Most pretrial diversion programs run from 18 to 24 months, depending on the nature of the crime and perceived rehabilitative needs of the "defendant."   Also,  if there is any economic loss to the victim,  the amount of any restitution is taken into account when determining length of the program to allow for the monies to be paid by the time the program date expires.  \n\nI suppose in a particular case,  a pre-trial diversion officer can recommend to his/her Chief Pre-Trial Diversion officer a period of three years.   The federal agent involved may very well NOT know the intricacies of the pre-trial diversion length and may just be giving you a rough estimate.\n\nYou need to contact your local Federal Public Defender office so you have someone representing you through the pre-trial diversion process.  Most courts appoint the FPD office on a consultation basis if the client (proposed defendant -- you) is indigent.  This means you lack sufficient persona funds or personal resources to hire an attorney on your own. \n\nAn attorney through the FPD's office can review the case and let you know whether your rejecting the US Attorney's pre-trial diversion offer is a good bet or not, and the likelihood of conviction should the matter proceed to trial.\n\nGood luck.
