Question

Is a murder charge the only capital felony that has a statute of limitations?

This person was not charged with murder but was told his charge had a statute of limitations and also was told a murder charge is the only capital felony that has. So, we're confused on what to believe.

Is this true for a murder charge only in every state in the union?

Thank you.

Answer

i can only speak for Florida. Not sure if I understand your question, but I can tell you that murder has NO statute of limitations in Florida. In other words, charges can be brought the next day the next year, or the next century, if that accused person is still alive.
