Justice for Murder Victims: No Time Limit on Prosecution
This act removes time limits for prosecuting homicide offenses under federal law. It means prosecutors can bring charges for murder regardless of how much time has passed between the act causing death and the victim's death. The goal is to ensure perpetrators of serious crimes cannot escape justice due to elapsed time.
Key points
Eliminates the time limit between the act and the victim's death for federal homicide cases.
