Extradition For Old Theft

Summary

Illinois can prosecute theft over $500 for up to 7 years. Extradition from New York is possible. Juvenile records are often sealed, but serious offenses can be exceptions. If the 7-year period has passed, they generally cannot initiate prosecution. However, confirm with a lawyer to understand any potential exceptions.
