I can only imagine that when your friend is appointed an attorney, that if the statute of limitations has passed, that the indictment will be dismissed.
however, I am reading that there are several felonies in AL that have 6 year SOLs. I have not yet found whether all drug crimes fall in this category or not.
However, the claim that he was indicted for a "drug crime" is pretty broad. And since SOLs tend to be crime and code section specific, it may not be possible to render a completely informed opinion on it.
He should wait for his attorney to answer the question.
