Should we repeal all statutes of limitations on criminal offenses?
Accuracy in the justice system is incredibly important. For an innocent person to be convicted and imprisoned is an unacceptable outcome. Over time, evidence deteriorates, and might be subject to contamination or clerical error. The memories of witnesses can become confused and unreliable through the passage of time. Either way, prosecuting crimes from long ago risks sending an innocent to jail.
