Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Statue of limatations?

Charged with violation of probation(1st time), I have a 120 day suspended sentence from that case, new charges of driving without a license subsequent offense, failure to stop(there wasn't a chase), possesion of class D(half of joint), and several other minor bogus charges.

If I fled, what would be the statue of limitations in Massachusetts on these offenses??

Re: Statue of limitations?

Once you are charged, there is no statute of limitation.

If you fled, you better not get caught.

You should really consult a criminal defense attorney before you do something stupid.

You should talk to no one, and certainly not post a detailed description on the internet.

The next person you should and must speak to is an attorney to analyze the case, and discuss your options.

If you seek further information or representation, you can call my office.

If you want to provide me with more essential information about the situation, or contact me, then I can provide me with the necessary details, so that I can evaluate what is going on, and give you my thoughts.

If you would like to consult with me, call me at my office.

Once you've been arraigned, there is no statute of limitations, plus, you never get off probation as long as there is a violation open. Plus, you'll have an outstanding warrant entered into the interstate warrant system.

Re: Statue of limatations?

Once you are charged, there is no statute of limitations. The case would be open forever, or until you resolve it. If the new case is "bogus charges," why not just deal with it? Perhaps it's beatable, or at least manageable? What court is it in?
