What is the statute of limitations for a certain charge in Pennsylvania?
You may be asking the wrong question if you are interested in a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations only applies for a crime committed in the past for which no charges have been filed. However, if you were charged with a crime and skipped out or forgot about it and there is a warrant out for your arrest, that charge will not just go away. If you have an outstanding warrant in Pennsylvania, call me to help clear it up. It may be possible to get the case dismissed due to lack of remaining evidence or witnesses. But if you don’t deal with it, you never know when it will show up on a computer search and cause you real problems. More and more old criminal records are being put online after 9/11, so you never know when any traffic stop could land you in jail. But if you try to address the situation proactively, you may have a very good chance of clearing up the matter with minimal penalties and hassle.
