    Question Is There a Time Limit on Assault/Domestic Violence Charges in Utah

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Utah

    I am facing possible assault/domestic violence charges. I have not been contacted in any manner regarding the incident, which occurred mid July of 2010. (Which also means I have not plead guilty or not guilty.) It is now March and I am wanting to know if the state has a time limit. If so, how long is it and how would I go about positively enforcing my right to a "speedy trial?"

    You don't have a right to speedy trial until you're arrested. The state has until the statute of limitations runs out to file the charge (2 years for a misdemeanor in UT).
