Which felony categories have no time limit under the statute of limitations?

• A. Class A and certain B felonies
• B. All felonies
• C. Misdemeanors
• D. Petty offenses

Answer: (A)

Some offenses are treated as time-barred only for most crimes, while a select few felonies have no time limit at all. In New York, the statute of limitations does not apply to Class A felonies and certain Class B felonies. This means charges can be brought at any time for those particular categories, regardless of how long ago the crime occurred. The other options aren’t correct because not all felonies are unlimited, and misdemeanors and petty offenses have their own time limits or different rules. So the correct understanding is that only Class A felonies and specific Class B felonies carry no statute of limitations.
