How Long Before its ''too long?''
If someone is arrested and a case is made- How long can they wait to prosecute? Or to make their decision? This happened almost 4 years ago and has been continued many times.

Re: How Long Before its ''too long?''
There is not an absolute limitation period once the charges have been brought. However, four years seems long. Perhaps the defendant should file a Motion to Dismiss because of the delay.
Good Luck
