Do you agree or disagree about the statutes of limitations of homicide?

There is no statute of limitation for homicide. If law enforcement learns someone is responsible for killing another person 20 years ago or more they can still arrest that person and apply for a warrant on the case to be prosecuted. I agree this should be the case. Whoever takes a life should be held accountable even if they have gotten away with it for years.

What is the statute of limitations for aggravated assault domestic violence in the state of Georgia?

The question needs to be more specific, like what type of assault and the age of the victim. For example, if the person is a MINOR and SEXUALLY assaulted, both state and federal law might come into play. With the exception of death penalty cases, the statute of limitation for most crimes is seven (7) years. Please note that there are exceptions to the statute--e.g., it does not include years the suspect lived outside the state or if the identity of the offender is unknown. There are also exceptions for government & fudiciary persons.
