Statutes of limitations is predicated on the notion of fairness. Over time memories fade, evidence is lost or never found, and people prefer to get on with their lives without legal intrusions from the past. This idea is reflected in the various lengths of limitations periods. For example, some crimes such as murder or war crimes (see Rome Statute) are deemed so horrific that they have no limitations period in some jurisdictions. Generally, actions relating to real property have longer limitations periods and slander and libel usually have short periods.

Japan is one country that does have a statute of limitations for murder. There, if murderers manage to evade the law for 25 years after committing a homicide, they will be free to go public with details of the crime. From time to time, controversy arises because some horrific crimes have been discovered, but the perpetrator escapes due to the statute of limitation or prescription.

Barclay briefly returned to the force as a dispatcher, and later manned an Amtrak information booth, but the work proved too taxing. Hospital stays became more frequent as his organs and immune system weakened.

And he'd known what was coming.

"The surgeon gave Walt his lifetime prognosis right after he was shot," his sister said. "He said what would happen to him in his 50s and 60s, and that's exactly what did happen."

Barclay spent his last five years in a suburban nursing home, flat on his back, an invalid with a feeding tube in his stomach and no control of basic bodily functions. It was the outcome he most feared.

"He dropped contact with people because he didn't want them to know he was in there," his sister said. "Everything had to be done for him. He could not accept that."

In the end, he went into cardiac arrest brought on by a urinary tract infection. Bucks County coroner Joseph Campbell concluded the death resulted from the years of cascading complications from the 1966 shooting.

In truth, Barclay's sister said, he had been dying for 41 years.



that's how.. fuck that fucking shitbag.. let him rot.

my whole beef with it is that now the residents of Philly have to pay for this man to eat, sleep, get meds, the whole nine...He's 71 yrs. old now...If they could, they should just kill him off...It wouldn't be worth having him in the penal system until he died...
