Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa
I was charged with and arrested for possession of meth in Dec 09 during a search warrant for manufacturing. Almost 1 year later I was charged with manufacturing. Does this violate the 45 day time limit the police or prosecutor has to file the manufacturing charge since it was from the same incident?

No, they can amend the trial information upward or add charges as the evidence accumulates.
