Sen. R.C. Soles Pulls Out Gun, Blows Criminal Away

Well, as I have read through a lot of the WI statutes pertaining to this, what you are saying may be relevant.

Here is the catch, the person that broke in at that time had the chance to file a complaint and could have easily discovered who he was.

Maybe I should not have mentioned this and at this time I may edit my posts.

Great post everyone should be aware of this type of hypocrisy.

Seems like the same applies with the health care debacle.
They are never on the same plan as we peasants.

Doesn't the statute of limitations begin from when the crime is discovered? That would mean by law enforcement. If the guy wanted to track you down and turn you in tomorrow, then wouldn't the statue of limitations begin... tomorrow?

I am sure the law varies state by state, but from some general perusing of articles, it seems to be the case for felonies, which most would claim your actions to have been.

Under Wisconsin law a statute of limitations
begins to run when the plaintiff discovers or
should have discovered both his injury and the
person who, and the act that, were the probable
cause of the injury. See Borello v. U.S. Oil Co.,
388 N.W.2d 140, 146 (Wis. 1986); Smith v.
Herrling, Myse, Swain & Dyer, Ltd., 565 N.W.2d
809, 811 (Wis. App. 1997); Wiskunas v. Birnbaum,
23 F.3d 1264, 1266 (7th Cir. 1994).

I don't think it's from the time it's discovered, but from the time the Plaintiff knows he's been injured. In this case the Plaintiff discovered the injury when he was shot. His time to file started running then. I think murder is the only crime that doesn't a statute of limitations.

Buy you're right in that the law varies state by state.
