Kamisha's Law
S 2624, "Kamisha's Law," removes all time limits for prosecuting certain non-capital homicide offenses in federal court. It directly affects prosecutors and defendants in cases involving second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or attempted manslaughter under specified sections of Title 18 (e.g., sections 1111, 1112, 1114, and others listed). The bill amends federal law to allow indictments or information to be filed "at any time without limitation" for these offenses, eliminating the usual statute of limitations. This change applies only to federal prosecutions for the listed homicide crimes, not to state cases or capital offenses.
