Kamisha's Law: No Statute of Limitations for Certain Homicide Offenses.

This new law, known as Kamisha's Law, removes time limits for prosecuting certain non-capital homicide offenses. This means that individuals who commit such crimes can be prosecuted regardless of how much time has passed since the offense. The aim is to ensure that justice can be served even many years later.
Key points
Eliminates the statute of limitations for offenses such as second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and attempted manslaughter.
This means law enforcement can initiate criminal proceedings at any time, regardless of when these specific crimes were committed.
Increases the likelihood of holding perpetrators of these serious crimes accountable, potentially enhancing public safety and a sense of justice.
