QUESTION

Should it take over a year for arraignment?

Asked on Nov 22nd, 2014 on Criminal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
I was arrested in July 2014. I bonded out of jail, and apparently there was an error in handling my paperwork, so here I am now 16 months later, receiving a letter in the mail for an arraignment. Is there any type of statute of limitations on this? I never saw a judge, no first appearance & no arraignment until now.

What you need to do is get a private criminal defense attorney on your side. The statute of limitations does not apply but the speedy trial rule does. Get counsel on this swiftly.
