Can a prosecutor add charges 3 years after the original charges were made?

Answer

He can always bring new charges from the same crime.

Yes, if the statute of limitations for prosecution has not expired. The defense counsel can dispute the additional charges and if so the presiding judge will rule as to whether or not they will be allowed to stand.
