Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Criminal Charges in MA

A friend was charged with 3 counts of felony because of a fight. He skipped bail and moved to another state.

Is there a prescriptive period on criminal charges?

Is it possible to negotiate a deal without being arrested?

If the accuser chooses to drop charges, can the state still push forth?

Is it possible to deal ''no-jail time'' under such scenario? Just community services?

Thank

The case is open, and there is most likely a warrant for his arrest.

As to the substance of the charges and the process, please contact me, and maybe we can discuss this.
