I just found out this week that in Oklahoma you can not be charged with attempted murder. They have to charge you with something else.
It will depend on whether it is charged as a felony or misdemeanor. In Oklahoma it would be five or three years respectfully.
what is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice?
if there is a statute of limitations, then by definition it can
There is no statute of limitations on filing a charge such as that. HOWEVER - the sooner, the better, time is of the essence! The next time, the attempt may not fail. ALSO - the longer you wait to report such a serious crime the more doubt law enforcement may have about the truthfulness of your story. Sorry... but THAT's a realistic fact!
It depends on the details of the offence. Was the person raped during the course of the attempted murder? - if so, no limitation date applies. Also, when the person eventually dies, if the autopsy shows that the death was in anyway causally related to an old injury (caused by the attempted murder), which could be a simple infection, then the death will be found attributable to the attempted murder and changed to a murder charge and thus no limitation applies. Hope this helps.
Murder is the most serious of crimes. In Virginia, there is no statute of limitations for murder.
There may not have been one. Every state sets their own limits. Many don't have any statute of limitations for murder.
There is no statute of limitations on homicide (capital murder) in the USA.
That would be a felony in Florida. They have set the limit at three years, unless it is considered a life felony, which has no limit.
There is no statute of limitations on murder in Texas. The lack of evidence would be the reason they haven't brought charges.
While it varies from state to state, in many places there is no statute of limitations for felonies. And in others it depends on the specific crime. Murder and rape usually don't have a statute of limitations anywhere.
Utah is like all but one state in the US. They do not have a statute of limitations for murder. The charge can be brought at anytime during their lifetime.
Alabama has a long list of felonies, including murder, with no set statute of limitations. Only one state has set a statute of limitations on murder. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.
