Crider’s bill to extend the statute of limitations for rape to allow prosecutions for Level 3 felony rapes within five years of the time prosecution becomes possible with DNA evidence or the time a confession is obtained. Rep. Hale testified in support of the bill, as did David Powell of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council. The bill passed 11-0.
