Statue limitations on filing a felony case
A defendant is charged with 3rd degree felony of drug possion. Is sent to Drug Court Program for Rehabilitation. The defendant moves to another county within the state and his case is transferred to that county, however the receiving county loses the file and never files. The defendant continues to go to the rehab program for six months with out any further assesment or charges. Has the statue of limitations expired for filing a felony case such as this?
