Question

Somebody filed a police report for being punched in the nose from a family member.  How much time do they have to file charges? Does it go away after 48 hours?

Criminal Defense Lawyer, R. Christopher Simons Answer
The state has 3 years for felonies, 1 year for misdemeanors, and 6 months for infractions to file their case. Domestic Assault is a serious charge as even a municipal conviction can restrict your 2nd amendment rights. Don’t talk about the case with anyone but an attorney.
