I got caught stealing in California on June 27th 2005, received a ticket and went to court on the date specified on the ticket which was August 8th 2005. When I got there they said I wasn't on the docket and needed to call the D.A.'s office. Once I did that the D.A. told me I'd receive a letter in the mail when they were ready to prosecute my case. It's now been 3 months and I still haven't heard anything from them. Is there a statute of limitations on prosecuting a shoplifter?
