Re: dismissal of charge
well if it is a misdemeanor battery charge, the state has up to one year from the date of incident to file charges against you. If it is a felony battery, then the state has at least two years to file charges against you. If they have not done so in that time, then the charge/case cannot be filed and you cannot be prosecuted for it. All my best, Joe Vredevelt
