Good point. Did the cousin have to do time?

What's the statute? 10,20,30 years?

I would be too. This is a terrible situation for a DA to be in. I have the feels for him.
I don't envy his position at all. This is why pardons exist though. He has to do his job and hope the Governor will do the right thing.

So if this guy was a rapist and re-offended say at the ten year mark of being free what would be the punishment to the state for this screw up?

They should have just told him to stand by for sentencing and forget about it again.

Ya, the DA stated this may create a "slippery slope."
A slippery slope of what, y'all being dumbasses and not assigning convicts to prisons?
That's exactly it. The only way this creates a slippery slope is if you're saying this is going to happen again.. in which case STOP BEING INCOMPETENT
It's only a slippery slope if you plan on fricking up again. Otherwise, it doesn't magically mean reformed prisoners can use it to obtain freedom.

Could they suspend his sentence?

Statute of limitation on applies to being brought to trial for a crime. For example if there was a 5 year statute of limitation on armed robbery. He could wait out those 5 year and then walk into a court room and confess to this armed robbery and there would be nothing they could do but tell him to go home. This guy was past that point though in that he was charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced.

Me too. But the story doesn't really change if you take out that he owned businesses. Did he live a clean life after the conviction is my biggest question? And from this article, it appears so. Even then, however, I'm not willing to make a definitive statement yet.
Only reason I don't have an opinion one way or the other. You can't just take an article written by whothefrickever as absolute truth.

I believe they could or as I pointed out earlier, the governor could pardon him. I believe this is probably the best solution here.

ETA: I bet this ends up on a law school exam somewhere.

My point was they could suspend it, but say if you frick up again, you're getting all 13 +. Still letting him live his life as is, but not letting him completely away away with it.

I know. I was thinking the justification for statute of limitations of crimes.

Well if the cousin did do his time he had to know he wasn't in there and surely didn't try and snitch on his cousin because well snitches get stitches.
