Statute of Limitations: The time limit, fixed by law, within which a criminal prosecution must be commenced by the filing of an indictment, special
presentment or accusation.
In Georgia, the statutes of limitation are:
Murder - no statute of limitation;
Forcible rape - 15 years;
Other crimes punishable by death or life imprisonment - 7 years;
RICO - 5 years;
All other felonies - 4 years, unless the victim is under age 18 at the time the crime is committed, in which case the crime
must be indicted within seven years;
Misdemeanors - 2 years.
Under certain circumstances, the statute of limitation can be extended. Some of these circumstances include: (1) The
person committing the crime is unknown; (2) the accused is a fugitive; (3) the victim is a child under the age of 16.; (4) the
accused is a government employee charged with theft of government property; or (5) the accused is a guardian or a trustee
charged with theft or conversion of the ward or beneficiary's property.
The actual charge will determine the time frames. A typical capital case has a limit of 7 years in Georgia. Otherwise it would be 4 years. Murder has no limitation. Forcible rape has a 15 year limit.
In Georgia there will not be a statute of limitations once a ticket has been issued. You have already been given proper notice of the violation.
