Q: What is the statue of limitations on spousal abuse in California and what is it if the person didn't do all requirements
This person was convicted of spousal abuse about 3 yrs ago and spent 4 to 7 days in jail they also had terms and conditions and did not finish them because of mental health problems
A:
MORE INFO NEEDED.
HOWEVER, IF SENTENCED IT IS NOT SO MUCH A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PROBLEM BUT AN OUTSTANDING BENCH WARRANT
Dmitry Gorin agrees with this answer
A: Statute of limitations is the amount of time a prosecutor has to file charges for a crime. Since they were already convicted and apparently have an outstanding warrant for a violation, SOL doesn't apply here. Warrants don't expire. They need to consult with a criminal lawyer to review legal options.
