Frequently Asked Questions
While a 1993 criminal case is considered very old, dismissal is not automatically guaranteed by the Maricopa County Superior Court Criminal Division. The age of the case may provide grounds for a motion to dismiss based on factors like the availability of evidence or witnesses, but the court must still review the specific legal circumstances. You must typically file a formal motion to request that the judge dismiss the charges rather than assuming the passage of time has resolved the matter.
An outstanding warrant remains active regardless of how much time has passed since 1993. To resolve it, you generally need to address the warrant through the Maricopa County Superior Court system, which often requires a motion to quash the warrant. Simply filing for a dismissal may not automatically clear the warrant; it is a separate legal hurdle that must be cleared before the court can proceed with evaluating the merits of dismissing your decades-old criminal case.
In many instances, the Maricopa County Superior Court allows for the electronic filing of legal documents, including motions to dismiss or motions to quash warrants. However, handling a case from home without a physical appearance depends on the judge's requirements and the nature of the charges. While you can often initiate the process online, you should verify if the court requires a virtual or in-person hearing to resolve the outstanding warrant and the 1993 criminal charges.
