New Jersey’s Legal Time Limits For Filing Criminal Charges 

In order to bring charges against an individual in New Jersey, the prosecutor must abide by the state’s legal time limits, known as the statute of limitations. Every state has these deadlines and they are different from one state to the next. In New Jersey, these legal deadlines are based on the type of crime that was allegedly committed. 

New Jersey’s legal time limits for filing criminal charges are as follows:

The statute of limitations for felonies, also known as indictable offenses, is: 

  • Crime of official misconduct and related offenses: seven years
  • Crime of bribery: seven years
  • Other felony crimes: five years

The statute of limitations for misdemeanors, or disorderly persons offenses, is:

  • Petty Disorderly Persons Offense: one year 
  • Disorderly Persons Offense: one year

In the Garden State, if the person who is being charged with a criminal offense is at that time already pending prosecution for the same criminal conduct, then New Jersey’s statute of limitations does not apply. If the person being charged is fleeing justice, the statute of limitations also does not run. Crimes of murder or manslaughter do not have statutes of limitations — these charges can be at any time after the alleged crime occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Criminal Defense Cases In Voorhees Township, New Jersey

FAQ: How is a criminal charge different from a civil charge?

Criminal charges and civil charges are very different. A state or federal government brings a criminal charge against an individual, and if this individual is found guilty — convicted of the crime — there are penalties. In a civil case, a lawsuit is filed by another individual, a business, or an organization and the entity filing the civil charge is requesting compensatory damages from the at-fault party.

FAQ: I was charged with a crime but I am innocent. So can’t I just defend myself since I didn’t do it?

If you have been charged with a crime, you are under no legal obligation to hire an attorney to defend you. So yes — technically you can defend yourself. But just because you are permitted to defend yourself under the law doesn’t mean that doing so is a good idea. In fact, the opposite is true: it is likely not in your best interest to defend yourself against a criminal charge. In order for you to conduct your own defense of the charges brought against you, you must have a full understanding of every aspect of the crime you have been charged with, the ability to develop strategic defenses against the different elements of the charge, and to argue them in court. Even though there is a presumption of innocence in the United States and you are not legally obligated to develop a defense of your innocence, for the most favorable outcome in your case, it is best to consult with a criminal defense attorney. The Voorhees Township criminal defense lawyers at Aydelotte Law, LLC offer a free, no-obligation consultation so that you can get answers to your questions regarding your case, and make the best decision possible in your situation.
