I am trying to find out what the statute of limitations is for Grand Theft (appx. $1800) in the state of Florida.

Hello camtay:

Here's what I found:

(1) A prosecution for a capital felony, a life felony, or a felony that resulted in a death may be commenced at any time. If the death penalty is held to be unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court, all crimes designated as capital felonies shall be considered life felonies for the purposes of this section, and prosecution for such crimes may be commenced at any time.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this section, prosecutions for other offenses are subject to the following periods of limitation:

(a) A prosecution for a felony of the first degree must be commenced within 4 years after it is committed.

(b) A prosecution for any other felony must be commenced within 3 years after it is committed.

(c) A prosecution for a misdemeanor of the first degree must be commenced within 2 years after it is committed.

(d) A prosecution for a misdemeanor of the second degree or a noncriminal violation must be commenced within 1 year after it is committed.

No. It won't expire.

In the future, please don't ask your question in someone else's thread. This thread is 4 years old, and the details don't necessarily correspond to your situation.

What is the statue of limitations on a grand larceny (retail theft, approx $ 2000). I bonded out and unfortunately did not go back to court. I have not seen a judge or started the court process

Hello X:

Once a warrant has been issued, and in your case it was, it NEVER expires.
