Justice for Murder Victims: No Time Limit on Homicide Prosecutions

This act removes time limits for prosecuting homicides under federal law. This means that perpetrators of murder can be prosecuted regardless of how much time has passed between the act and the victim's death. The goal is to ensure justice is served, even if the victim died long after the incident.
Key points
Eliminates the time limit between the act and the victim's death in homicide cases, allowing prosecution years later.
Expands the justice system's ability to prosecute crimes where death occurred with a delay.
