∙ 13y agoMurder is a crime in America, That does not have a statue of limitations. But I do
not expect that Murder is not a statue of limitations. So, I think, '' No Statue of Limitations on Murder.
In laws, ''In the United States, there are many crime categories which hold no statue of limitations.'' Such as murder, kidnapping, treason, fraud, forgery, embezzlement, crimes against humanity (war crimes). There is no statute of limitations for federal crimes punishable by death, nor for certain federal crimes of terrorism.

First lets look at why we have the concept of statute of limitations in general. We have statutes of limitations to ensure the prompt prosecution of criminal charges and to the accused of the burden of having to defend against stale charges after memories may have faded or evidence is lost. On the other hand, Murder can be exceptionally difficult to prove- it may take years or decades to develop enough evidence to prosecute someone for murder. Rather, the legislature took the side of the government's interests on the issue, and the concept is not one originating out of "constitutional law" as the quite similar doctrine of latches developed from the case law in the context of civil law. However, as a trade-off, the Defense can still use "time" to impair the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses under trial rule 609, which pertains to impeachment of witnesses.
