My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa
According to what I can find about statute of Limitations for embezzlement felonies in Iowa it says something to the effect of "extention of up to 3 years" but I don't know exactly what that means. Is it three years or 3 more years on top of some unknown number?
Also, what was the Discovery Rule mean exactly? My employer knows about my embezzlement and has decided not to file charges, is the date that the employer found out about the embezzlement when the discovery rule takes effect or is it when the justice system finds out about the embezzlement?
I have paid back what I embezzled according to my employer's audit and they are satisfied with that settlement and only asked me to get therapy for my addiction that caused the embezzlement. I just want to know if the embezzlement statute of limitations will run out in three years from the employer's discovery?
Thank you.
