Re: Statute of Limitations

There is no statute of limitations which operates in favor of a fugitive. So long as the fugitive status is in effect, the statute of limitations for the underlying offense, if any, is tolled or stopped.

One who becomes a fugitive remains in that status for life or until apprehended, whichever first occurs.
