What is the name of your state? California
As silly as it may sound, I am asking this question to help a friend who has run from the law. The situation is as follows:
He was busted for manufacturing and I believe intent to distribute Marijuana. He was released shortly thereafter and a trial date was set. Upon pre-trial court appearances one of the officers who did the arrest was blatently lying to improve the states case.
While a judge or jury will likely choose an officer testimony (even if it is false) over a previous offender, my friend decided at this point to split. He wrote a letter to his attorney stating that he felt there was no way to win his case if the officers were going to lie and he left the country.
It is now almost 7 years later. Is there anywhere I can look or does anyone have any knowledge if there is a possible statute of limitations or anything related to this. The case never even reached trial.
I truly appreciate any advice received.
Any other recommended options I can suggest?
