Re: Ia the a statue of limitations on a drug felony charge?

More | Report Post

Well, I am getting ready to graduate with a BSN in two years.
I will need to apply for a license to practice and I wanted to
be honest by disclosing all information. That way I wouldn't
have any skeletons comming back to get me later. I really
wanna get this cleared up so I don't have it hanging over my
head. How and where can I get more information on the statue
of limitations. I am hoping to find something I can use in my
favor. I am a college student and don't have lots of cash to
spend on a lawyer. I looked at several websites (DEA, LOC and
others too) but didn't find anything. Got a web site or book
you can refer me to?
