The statute of limitations runs from commission of the crime until indictment. After that, it's the speedy trial clause of the Constitution, or the Speedy Trial Act (in federal court, and in some states that have them) which governs.

Not on murder. No limitation for that

Forty five years is beyond the pale. State should admit the blew it and move on.
