California Penal Code Section 801. A statute of limitations is NOT, as the above answer states, a "statutory maximum sentence." It is a maximum time period within which charges for particular crimes must be brought. Maximum statutory sentences are a different matter entirely.If charges are not brought within the period in a statute of limitations, the state is barred from prosecuting the person who committed the crime. Certain circumstances may extend some statutes of limitation. If the statute of limitations is extended for some reason (like fleeing to avoid prosecution) charges may be brought after the 3 year period, but the sentence will still only be for the statutory sentencing limits dating from conviction. The time spent avoiding prosecution is never added to the maximum statutory sentence.By the way, I don't think you committed manslaughter just because you asked this question.
