The statute of limitations sets a time limit for charging someone with a crime. Once this time limit expires, you cannot be charged with that crime. The length of the statute of limitations varies depending on the type of crime and the jurisdiction, but typically ranges from 1 to 10 years.

What if you left the state while under investigation for a crime but you where never charged with a crime. Can that state still charge you?

Yes, a state can still charge you with a crime even if you left while under investigation and were never formally charged. The statute of limitations for the specific crime would apply, meaning the state has a limited time to file charges based on the nature of the offense. However, if you have left the state, it may complicate the investigation or prosecution, but it doesn't prevent the possibility of charges being filed. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand your specific situation.
