The statute of limitations would require the state to charge you within a certain time, and it did so by citation. You might have other defenses. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.
