Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Re: My husband been held for one year.

eventually a case will get thrown out. depending on the situation and the type of case, the district attorney has either 180 days or 360 days to prosecute him, less any time attributable to his lawyer or to him.

also, note that must be tried is a legal fiction and exists on in philadelphia county. must be tried means nothing unless the judge enforces it.

If your husband has a detainer, the situation maybe slightly more serious and you may want to email me back with more specifics. [email protected]
