Monique Chartier

Posted by: John at August 28, 2012 10:55 AMI wonder if a conspiracy to commit voter fraud has the same limits at either the state or federal level.
Posted by: Phil Hirons, Jr. at August 28, 2012 11:12 AMFederal is 5 years for that type of offense i believe.
Posted by: joe bernstein at August 28, 2012 1:43 PMLet's see if we can find a sensible,"We the People" type of Legislator to introduce a 5 year or longer Statute of Limitations. I heard there was a new Law Firm coming to R I after our one term AG is out. It'll be called KILmartin & Lynch Em' LLC.
