What was he charged with?
Unless it is murder, won’t the statute of limitations apply?
First line says convicted for murder.
And he’s escaped from prison. I’m not sure but I think escape is open ended. Meaning there is no time limit on when they have to capture you by.

It appears it was Voluntary Manslaughter when he hit a pedestrian with his car. I am thinking drunk driving. He was sentenced to parole for 5 yrs but violated the parole and went to jail.
He’s an escaped prisoner, so he was already convicted and sentenced. He’s surely already been convicted in absentia of escaping as well, so there would be time tacked on for that too.
