Re: Dv, arraignment, release
Your question is vague and lacks clarity. First the DA has one or more years in which to file a criminal complaint, depending upon the statute of limitations for the particular crime. Second the 72 hours is the time that the police and DA have to take a person before a judge for arraignment. It appears in your case the person was held in jail for 7 days and then released, when not charges were filed. You should take the paperwork that you have and consult with an attorney regarding potential defenses and action options.
