Under the facts you state, the answer is "no." If the defendant is prejudiced by the delay between arrest and indictment, however, the answer could be "yes." Consult an established criminal defense attorney in your town. Initial consultations are usually done at no cost.

No. But if your case was prejudiced by the delay, you may have other remedies. Consult an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.
