What is the statute of limitations for bank robbery in New York State?

Answer 1

Connecticut has numerous levels depending on the severity of the robbery. If the charges could result in 1 or more years in prison, it is set at 5 years. For a Class A felony, there is no limitation.

Answer 2

Bank robbery = State and Federal charges. You may get 25 to 40 years if not worse or a little better

For the previous respondent, did you read the question?

Federal Statute of Limitations is 5 years for bank robbery. Additionally, you have state statute of limitations to deal with also; for example in Florida it's 4 years and in some states it could be more or less depending on the state laws.

One more loop... Florida can toll (extend) the limitations another 3 years as follows:

The period of limitation does not run during any time when the defendant is continuously absent from the state or has no reasonably ascertainable place of abode or work within the state. This provision shall not extend the period of limitation otherwise applicable by more than 3 years, but shall not be construed to limit the prosecution of a defendant who has been timely charged by indictment or information or other charging document and who has not been arrested due to his or her absence from this state or has not been extradited for prosecution from another state.

Answer 3

On August 9, 1989, President Bush signed into law the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery, and Enforcement Act

The statute of limitations has been extended from five to 10 years. The Act provides a new 10-year statute of limitations for a violation of, or a conspiracy to violate, certain bank related offenses. The Act also applies the new statute of limitations to offenses committed before the effective date of the Act, provided the previously applicable five-year statute of limitations has not expired as of such date. So, for example, if your questionable activity occurred four years, 11 months, and 29 days prior to the effective date of the act, your exposure continues for another five years and one day.
