Consequences of long-term delay in criminal cases

Legal analysis: there is no clear definition of which side is beneficial to a criminal case for a long time, but the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates the time limit of each procedure in the case. If there is no evidence to prove that the parties to a case have committed a crime, the case shall be withdrawn or a verdict of innocence shall be made. Legal basis: Article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall not be investigated for criminal responsibility under any of the following circumstances. If the investigation has been concluded, the case shall be dismissed, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or the trial shall be terminated, or the case shall be declared innocent: < P > (1) If the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, it shall not be considered as a crime; (two) beyond the limitation period of prosecution; (3) If the Amnesty is exempted from punishment; (4) failing to tell or withdraw a crime that was dealt with after being told in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law; (5) The criminal suspect or defendant dies; (six) other laws and regulations exempt from criminal responsibility.
