If there was attempted murder, and the perp conducts actions to complete the act, would the clock be reset?
Let me start by saying that I'm not sure if the 4 yr statute of limitations was for attempted murder. It probably was, but it might also be for domestic violence or some other crime.
The other thing was, about a month or so ago on earlier Terri threads, I remember coming across something in the Florida law that talked about when a disabled person regains abilities, I think the clock may restart on those situations, because it would be considered new evidence. I can't for the life of me remember which statute I was reading, or it's possible I misunderstood what it was referring to. At the time I was looking up stuff about guardianships and also crimes against elderly and disabled persons. For anyone who can help me have a go at it, here is a link to the Florida Laws that can be copy and pasted.
