That all depends on the crime. Some crimes, such as murder, have no statute of limitation, so they can charge someone until they die. Other, lesser crimes are limited, and it depends greatly on the offense.

If the perp had actually succeeded than I know that the statute of limitations never runs out on murder...attempted murder, I can only assume is relatively close...or it's got to be at least 20 years or something.  I would think.\n\nYou should be able to call an attorney and ask for a free consultation, or call the attorney general's office 469-241-6500, someone there should be able to direct you.

its a felony assault the person who did this should be arrested, and could get as little as 2 years in prison, if its a first offense it would probably be about 2 yrs.\n(family Experience)

John's answer is absolutely correct, though I'd add one thing to it.   Punishment for criminal offenses often is dealt out in different degrees.  In California, many crimes are punishable by an upper limit of days in county jail (example: up to one year in county jail, meaning a person could get no jail time, or up to a year in jail), or by a number of determined years in prison (2, 3, or 4 years, for example).  \n\nThere are many factors that determine the sentence handed out to the defendant, but you should expect to see the prosecutor argue for the upper limits of allowable punishment because, after all, police officers are supposed to be perfect (okay, I'm getting a little testy here) or at least not supposed to go around committing crimes.  It's hard to argue that a cop should be prosecuted and punished just like anyone else, because the cops are indeed supposed to be the people who enforce the law, not break it.\n\nBottom line: John's right, but you'd probably expect to see the prosecutor at least ask for harsher sentences for cops - and maybe even get them.

The police can charge you with whatever they want.\n\nAnd, you can sue whomever for whatever you want.\n\nThe court will decide the issue, so it is up to the court whether there is a valid complaint.\n\nYahoo answers is not a court, so asking on Yahoo answers about the outcome of a trial is pointless.

There is a possible charge of filing a false police report. I would want to look into it a little more.

Limitation only applies to the original charge. If he has been charged, then the limitation doesn't apply. You need to get him an attorney.

Its actually statute of limitations. Its a period of time after which you can no longer prosecute someone for a crime.

Not unless your local police department does not charge.\nAny and everyone that I know of requires a fee.

Don't worry, if you didn't do anything you won't be charged with anything. Some people are questioned sometimes, but that's just to see if a charge is viable. I costs a lot of money and takes a lot of paperwork to charge somebody, so officers don't lay charges casually.

On criminal case, the prosecutor can file charges until it reaches its statue of limitation.  For high felonies, like murder, there is no statue of limitation.  They have at least two year to file charges for minor crimes.  It is longer for more serious violations.

I work for a police department and I answer this question every week several times. Yes you have to contact the Police in the town of which the crime occured.

Hi Robert,\n\n    I have a criminal record also here in Ohio. Ultimately, it will depend on your offense.  If you can give a little more information, it might help.  Ultimately, if the offense is a "crime of dishonesty", then it cannot be expunged.\n\nChris

generally, its 72 hours. There may be exceptions particularly in relation to probation. At this point he can prpbably held based on the original sentence. Consult a lawyer
