felony charges delay

[ttouble]

if the suspect was warranted/contacted after over a year since the charge filed, what could hurt the suspect to protect himself?

Could you please restate the question?

I am not sure what you are trying to ask here.

It seems as if you are asking something about a suspect being contacted (perhaps on an arrest warrant) a year after charges have been filed ... I am not sure what you are asking, though.

I don't understand either, even though it appears the OP has edited his post once already

what kind of evidence could the suspect lost to protect himself(prove that he is not quity) due to the charging delay?

Still confused here as well. You are asking how the State's delay could prejudice the suspect due to the suspect losing potentially exculpatory evidence during that delay?

If so then I still don't understand the point of your question. If this is what is happening to you than don't you know what evidence you have lost? I guess there could be surveillance videos or certain records that were discarded over time that could have been evidence for either the State or the defense. Its really an impossible question to answer without knowing the facts. Evidence differs in each case.

Huh?

What language is this?

If the prosecution discovers that the suspect has lost his mind, they may not prosecute. Of course the suspect could end up in a rubber room while the doctors try to locate his/her mind.

Now if the suspect were to lose his or her life, the DA would certainly not prosecute and the doctors will not be doing any evaluations at that point either. However, depending on who you ask, the suspect may still end up in hot water.
