What is the statute of limitations for a misdemeanor in the state of Missouri?

Answer 1

I deal with Okla law but I think its the same. Its consitered CAPITAL in most cases and there is no limit..

Attempted murder in Missouri may be charged as the Class A felony of Assault in the First Degree for which there is no statute of limitations.

Answer 2

The statute of limitations in Missouri for the prosecution of crimes varies by the seriousness of the crime. Murder and all Class A felonies do not have a statute of limitations. In Missouri, burglary is a felony but not a Class A felony so the time limitation is 3 years.

There are circumstances that could cause the statute of limitations to not run. For example, if the accused is not in the state, the time can be extended an additional three years.

Answer 3

Generally, the State has one year from the date of the offense to file misdemeanor charges, but cities may file ordinance violations within five years of the date of offense.

Answer 4

In Missouri, if it is a Class A felony there is no limitation. For the other felonies, it is three years, with some exceptions for crimes against minors and tolling.

Answer 5

Three Years.
