Re: Statue of limitations
Unfortunately for you, disappearing from the State will not prevent the charging of a crime. A crime can be charged in your absence. So, leaving or disappearing is not a solution. The best solution is to hire a defense attorney to begin gathering evidence in your favor before it grows stale (witnesses disappear, etc).
