What is the name of your state? Florida
A person I know has been charged in the State of Florida with the sell of Unregistered Non Exempt Securities. (517.01) (Class 3 Felony) This person pleaded out in 2006 for the same offense. The state has now brought another case with the same charges. My question is as follows: Does the Statue of Limitations apply to the second case. The offense took place in 2003 and is past the three year limitation for a class 3 felony in Florida. The first case was with a different "victim". No double jeopardy. But the new case exceeds the 3 years. My understanding of the law is each investor was a separate offense. But all are now pasted the 3 years. The first was not.
Now out on bond for the second case, next court day October 29th.
