Question
IS THERE A STATUE OF LIMITATIONS ON BENCH WARRANTS IN DECATUR GEORGIA FOR A MISDEMEANORS
Earl,
What your are referring to is not statute of limitations but the "life of the warrant". In most jurisdictions there is no statutory limit. Any limit is based on local policies of the court and prosecutors office. Several years is quite common.
Hope this helped
