Question: My husband was arrested almost 3 months and he has not been formerly charged with a crime. how long can they hold him in jail before they charge him?

Answer: He has no idea why he is being held? Look at the arrest warrant, or the computer at the jail. He has been formally charged. What you mean to say is that he has not been indicted or accused. If he has a bond, the prosecutor has the period of the statute of limitations to charge him (4 years for most felonies). If he does not have a bond, the prosecutor will indict or accuse him within thirty days. Does he have an attorney? Why are you not asking his current attorney.
