    Speedy trial and dismiss with prejudice time limit?
    I have a misdemeanor case that was dismissed WITH prejudice by judge for no probable cause. The 'crime' lists a statute of limitations of 2 years. But I'm assuming that is from time of committing crime to time of being arrested or charged. I have already been charged by the police, and came to arraignment and it was dismissed WITH prejudice. So is there a time limit on how long they have to bring this back with possibility of more evidence? I hate having this feeling of next shoe dropping, even though I feel confident I am innocent. (Frankly I think innocent people feel more guilty than guilty people do who are probably used to feeling guilty and can ignore the feeling) The court of jurisdiction lies in Washington the state. In the interest of 'speedy trial' surely it can't be 2 whole years they get to bring this back? Or yes?

My son is in jail in Oregon for parole violation. The same charge is against him in the State of Washington. He wrote a letter to Clark County, WA requesting a speedy trial. Does Washington have to grant him a speedy trial (within 60 days) if he is in an Oregon jail. Many thanks.
