It depends

On most criminal cases they have 5 years to file the case but it can be extended for a number of reasons.

can I incriminate myself?

Yes and it happens all the time. It is very easy to start out as a witness and then end up a defendant especially when it comes to conspiracy charges. I hope you didn't believe what they told you or answer any questions. You may be a suspect without even realizing it. You need an attorney who has a track record in the federal court system sooner rather than later.

The statue of limitations in Tennessee is located in a small park in Nashville.

Yes, you have our permission. We have enough Crystal Meth producers in this country. One less is a win for our side

They move it over in front of the GEC whenever there is a Predators game though.
