Ok here is my story...I got one dui around 2003 here in the seattle area..didnt do anything about it for 4 years..warrants out for me for years blah blah...finally did something about it in '05after 38 days in jail for ftas and non compliance issues.got assessed at some shady treatment place that concluded that I needed 2 years agressive outpatient treatment.did 6 months of 9 hours a week of classes untill I got popped for a dirty ua..they wanted me to go to inpatient for a month which the court agreed I needed..I have no way of paying for it and adatsa which is the state funded program out here to pay for the inpatient is going too slow to get me into inpatient before sept 9 which is my review of this case..chances are since I wont be in inpatient Ill do a year for such an old case with no new charges since then.My question is,in my state of WA is the statute of limitations a solid defense to just have the whole case dropped?as in..closing the books on it?I have been prosecuted since I did some time for it,Im a little confused on the whole statue thing but after so long and so much bs..I just want it over with!!I am getting a dui attorney and this is what ill tell him that I want but just wanted some insight beforehand to see if its a viable soltution.after this many years and after technically being prosecuted...can I use this defense to have my case closed?thanks all :)...
