Problem is the underlying crimes were never tried/prosecuted/defended. This area is just a touchy feely thing where jurors get to ride fluffy clouds in the sky until they get a sort of gushy feeling that he must be guilty. This law of using an alleged felony thatwas never tried to begin with and statutes of limitations have run out on to turn misdemeanors into felonies denies the whole idea of due process. This prosecution method in and of itself should be declared unconstitutional.

This could play out anywhere. A bank gets robbed, you have no evidence that so and so robbed the bank but he got a parking ticket 2 blocks away on that day. You know you can't prove him guilty in court of the robbery so you let the statutes of limitations expire and then turn the parking ticket into a felony by just asking the jurors if they think he might be guilty of the bank robbery without ever hearing any evidence. Just plain wrong.
