Unless he's being held for murder (and even sometimes then), if he's been there that long he presumably has a bond. If you want him out, you have to post the bond. If you don't post it, he could easily be there a very long time awaiting trial.
He has no idea why he is being held? Look at the arrest warrant, or the computer at the jail. He has been formally charged. What you mean to say is that he has not been indicted or accused. If he has a bond, the prosecutor has the period of the statute of limitations to charge him (4 years for most felonies). If he does not have a bond, the prosecutor will indict or accuse him within thirty days. Does he have an attorney? Why are you not asking his current attorney. IF you want to play attorney, then review mywebsite and educate yourself: www.lawrencelewispc.com
