What is the name of your state? CT
Hello,
I have a question, I will try to make the background as brief as possible.
In 1994 my boyfriend was killed by a hit and run driver who fled the scene and has still not been apprehended. I spoke to the state's atty. Thursday and he said "We know who the offender was, but as it was nearing the 5 year statute of limitations on the charge we did not pursue the investigation."
I spoke to my boyfriend's mother who told me this info back in 1998 , at that time it was only a 4 year time frame versus the supposed 5 year limitation.
Question: Is it truly conceivable that this person killed someone so callously and can now walk down the street stating "I killed RR" and will have no fear of the law?
Is there any way I can fight this and get the statute extended?
Is there ANYTHING at all I can do?
The state's atty refused to give me the info stating it would not be "fair" to the offender. What about fair to the 24 year old young man that was killed? His answer: "He will answer to a higher authority than us." Very weak answer IMO.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may give.
