As long as they want to. Why did you spank a kid that hard? You don't accomplish anything except to cause the kid to think that he is worthless. You might want to talk to a professional about how to deal with the kid; there might be a better way.

Sounds like the DA is still deciding if there is enough of a case to charge you with a crime, not that the file is lost..

There is a statute of limitations on misdemeanors but not on felonies. The DA can move any time he wants to. That is his job to decide who and when to prosecute I have had clients and witnesses to have a dozen court dates. You are not going to get off the hook by his losing your file. He can create another any time he cares to.

They can try to create a new file, how successful that effort might be is open to question. They have one year to file the case, but if you've already been to court that means they have filed it, unless you are talking about Family Court.
