Re: Stautue of Limitations

Thank you for your posting and your inquiry.

As stated, the statute of limitations on Penal Code section 459, burglary, is 7 years if filed as a felony. This means that the prosecution has seven years from the date of the alleged conduct, or from discovery of the conduct, to file charges against you.

If it was beyond 7 years, you may have grounds for a motion to dismiss for failure to provide a speedy trial.

I hope that this information helps you, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist in any way that I can.
