what is the statute of limitation for a felony crime other than murder?

Question

for the charge of fraud

Answer 1

If a warrant has been issued, stat. of lim. doent apply.. meaning the warrant will be open until issued. This rule applies to all states btw.

Statute of lim. is only a limit on the amount of time for the courts to decide to actually charge you with a crime. Meaning like say in NC it is 2 years. That means that the DA has 2 years to obtain enough evidence to actually charge you with the crime. If you are charged with the crime, the outstanding warrant is there until you are arrested and the matter is resolved.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Fraud can be a little different. Mainly because fraud victims often don't know they've been a victim until years later. In California, many acts of fraud have a stutute of limitations of 4 years - and that's calculated from the day of 'discovery' (of the fraud) or from the date it should have reasonably been discovered (and reported). So if you, for example, had your ID stolen in 2000 and someone took out loans in your name and paid on them, and you didn't even know the loans were out there until you applied for credit in 2004 and were turned down or at least found out about the unlawful loans, the statute of limitations would start to run in 2004 when you first discovered that you're a crime victim. But different states may have varying statutes, and you'd need to check your state.
