BITS, I think you have it backwards. You can't be protected by the statute of limitations for criminal acts. Murder someone and you can be arrested and tried anytime.

For most other matters, including medical malpractice and other liability suits, the statute limits the time someone can take legal action. Depending on which State the law applies, it ranges from 1 to 4 years from the date of incident, or in the case of a minor, 1-4 years from the date the minor reaches the age of majority (18 years old.)

I'm not a lawyer, but I slept in a Holiday Inn Express...
