    Laws about refiling charges?
    If I went to trial and witnesses didn't show up, so the case got dismissed, how long does the prosecuter have to refile charges

    It helps to know what type of case and what state this is... as some laws and Statutes will vary state to state.

    Has your attorney considered whether the Double Jeopardy Clause allows a retrial under these circumstances? Was the dismissal upon motion by the prosecution or the defense?
