Statute Of Limitations For Crimes - 10/03/13 05:16 AM
I know the general standard is for a drug smuggling operation to have 5 to 10 years of statute of limitations. But there are many instances of it being prolonged to 20 years.
I believe murder is the only criminal offense that that doesn't have a statute of limitation.
I also suppose when a murder investigation is open (and turns into cold case)the culprit is still in danger of being prosecuted since the case and investigation is not ensuing after the fact.

Statute of limitations on Federal Drug case
Generally the statute of limitattions for a non capital offense in Federal Court is 5 years. That means the charges need to be filed within that time.If the person skipped bond after being arrested but prior to being formally charged, the clock is stopped until the person is arrested on the warrant. If the person was already charged within 5 years of the alleged act and then skipped bond, the statute of limitations is satisfied since the law won't allow a fugitive from justice to benefit by secreting themself to avoid prosecution.
