elder abuse charges
Ask a Lawyerwhat's this?
Question
Country: United States of AmericaState: California
Yesterday, police took my wife to jail on the basis of a warrant. The warrant was for a felony account of elder abuse, where the incident is dated 1996. (She has never been aware of this.) She has been living in the state all these years. Isn't this time barred due to the Statute of Limitations?
Answer
The warrant is still valid but it is odd that that occurred only now--ask the DA to explain.These questions and answers are provided by WORLDLawDirect.com. ©2000 - 2007 by WORLDLawDirect.com, Inc.
