The Oklahoma Statute of Limitations- Affirmative Defense is a legal defense that allows a defendant to avoid liability for a crime or civil wrong that has passed the usual statute of limitations. This defense is based on the principle that a person who is accused of a crime or wrong should not be held liable if the crime or wrong occurred beyond the applicable statute of limitations period. There are two main types of Oklahoma Statute of Limitations- Affirmative Defense: 1. Statute of Repose: This defense is based on the principle that a person should not be held accountable for a crime or wrong if the crime or wrong occurred beyond a specific amount of time after the defendant committed the act. For example, in Oklahoma, the Statute of Repose for most civil wrongs is two years from the date of the act. 2. Statute of Limitations: This defense is based on the principle that a person should not be held accountable for a crime or wrong if the crime or wrong occurred beyond a specific amount of time after the crime or wrong was discovered. For example, in Oklahoma, the Statute of Limitations for most criminal offenses is five years from the date the crime or wrong was discovered. Both types of Oklahoma Statute of Limitations- Affirmative Defense are meant to protect the accused from being held liable for a crime or wrong that occurred beyond the applicable statute of limitations period.
