What is the test for determining whether a defendant's interpretation of the statute of limitations is correct?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Thi Le, 65 Cal.App.4th 1223, 77 Cal.Rptr.2d 323 (Cal. App. 1998):
In resolving the dispute between the defendants' and the Attorney General's interpretation of the statutes, we construe application of the statute [65 Cal.App.4th 1229] of limitations strictly in favor of the defendants. (People v. Zamora (1976) 18 Cal.3d 538, 574, 134 Cal.Rptr. 784, 557 P.2d 75.) Using this rule, general rules of statutory construction, and precedent, we conclude the defendants' interpretation is correct.
