Didn't you already ask this question? Is this a real question, or a hypothetical? Were you actually charged with a crime 8 years after the fact, or are you just being paranoid, I mean, apprehensive? Usually DA rejects stay DA rejects. The more time that goes by, the better your lawyer can argue that you were denied the right to a speedy trial, regardless of the statute.
