  • It would probably depend on the statute of limitations for the particular crime. Double-jeopardy does not apply.
  • I need an answer to that too! More people hurry up and answer this please?
  • See this website for information: http://www.joedane.com/criminal-procedure/what-if-the-victim-wants-to-drop-charges-will-i-still-be-prosecuted/ It's not up to the victim to press charges. They might put pressure on the prosecutor, but ultimately, it's the prosecutor's decision, not the victim's. If the victim waits too long, the statute of limitations could completely prevent any prosecution.
  • Yeah it depends on the statute of limitations for the crime. They can vary by state and crime. An example in Virginia is assault, someone can wait up to one year to press the charges, even if they say they won't initially.
  • depends on the crime, each offense has a different statute of limitations. in some crimes, such as crimes involving children, the statute doesnt even start until they are old enough to realize they have been a victim.
  • Since charges have never been pressed, yes it possible. You still did the crime, they could have been waiting to get more evidence. Depending on what crime, it would go by the statue of limitations.
