Summarized by Rankin Johnson, OCDLA

TIME LIMITATIONS - Pre-indictment delay

91-month delay between initial report and indictment was lawful, notwithstanding possible loss of contemporaneous police and therapy records. Affirmed.

The court explained that defendant had no non-speculative evidence that the records would help the defense. The sentencing court, however, plainly erred in failing to merge rape and sexual abuse.
