Re: Time limit from arrest to indictment for dismissal
Section 30.30 of the C.P.L. proscribes a 6 month period within which the prosecution must be ready for trial on a felony case . However , there are various exclusions for which the time periods will not be charged to them such as "consent" adjournments agreed to by defense counsel to negotiate a possible disposition.
