Criminal defense attorney John Guidry discusses how long the state of Florida has to file charges. This depends on whether or not you were arrested because it affects the timeline. If you were arrested, the state must provide you a “speedy trial”. This can be either 90 or 175 days depending on the charge. If you haven’t been arrested, the state’s timeline will be determined by the Statute of Limitations and your constitutional right to a speedy trial.
If no one has been arrested for a crime committed, the state has between 3-4 years depending on the severity of the charge. Capital crimes, however, do not have a statute of limitations. There are many exceptions to the statute of limitations and how much time the state has to file a charge. The key to getting a case dismissed is showing that the state violated these time frames or failed to serve a warrant in a timely manner without unreasonable delays.
