“Prior to its 1996 amendment, OCGA § 17-3-1 established a seven-year statute of limitation applicable to crimes punishable by death or life imprisonment (e.g., rape) and to felonies against victims under the age of fourteen years.... In 1996, OCGA § 17-3-1 was amended to provide that prosecution for the crime of forcible rape must be commenced within 15 years after the commission of the crime.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Lynch v. State“Where a statute extends the period of limitation, the extension applies to offenses not barred at the time of the passage of the act, so that a prosecution may be commenced at any time within the newly established period. Such a statute, however, cannot operate to revive offenses that were barred at the time of its enactment, since that would make the statute ex post facto.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“All pretrial motions, including demurrers and special pleas, shall be filed within ten days after the date of arraignment, unless the time for filing is extended by the court.”
