I know i've posted about this before, and I've come to terms with it all. However, I was wondering if a small shoplifting incident that took place at 19 with no cops called and great cooperation with LP would still affect one in the future? It was at a store where people claim that names are...
Massachusetts Criminal Statute of Limitations Laws - FindLaw
right here it lists that massachusetts has a 6 yr statute of limitations on misdemeanors.
why so long?
Also, a friend called the district court (i didn't tell her about my REAL problem, i pretended it was an unpaid traffic ticket...
I'm just confused and worried and lost because:
1. I never saw a summons in the five following months I lived at the address, my roommate didn't collect one in the mailbox in the 2 months after that (leaving sept-nov unaccounted for) AND I provided LP with my mom's address too, just in case...
I understand, but people do make mistakes. I am not the same person I was when I did that. I was in a bad spot in my mind. I lost my father two years earlier and still had never coped correctly. I didnt feel like my college major was for me so i became lost as to what i wanted to do with my life...

I read the statute of limitations on misdemeanors in MA is 6 years. As this was my first offense and it was a low amount and they never called the police/ i never had any police interaction, does this still follow? I'm lost, i know there are so many different laws regarding specific things and...
I know i'll never do it again, I was going through a very hard time in my life and made some reckless decisions. It was incredibly stupid of me. I am not that type of person. I am a hard worker, a college student and have big plans for the future. I couldve thrown it all away. I have since...
im sorry i dont follow. Basically what im trying to tell you is that I'm just always worried that Ill come home to a summons or maybe I missed the summons when i moved so now i have a warrant. not sure what the OP means im sorry
Do you think? I live in fear every day. I had done the same studpid mistake at that store times before, so I have read that sometimes stores go back to old evidence to build a bigger case
