The trial court found the charge was time-barred because the offense was discovered more than three years before filing. The appellate court affirmed, holding that an appeal from an acquittal based on a statute of limitations does not trigger double jeopardy, and that the \"discovery of the offense\" for statute of limitations purposes occurs when an objectively reasonable investigation by the Fraud and Noncompliance Unit concludes, which in this case was after an unreasonable delay in investigation.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","workers-compensation","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=138316","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-cale-d-seymour-d81570","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
