It depends on what the crime is, not the class.

Yep, what the other guy said. I'm a native of Massachusetts (haven't lived there in many many moons) and couldn't begin to tell you what the statute of limitations is. The secret is, not to tell anyone of your crime, ever.

Depending on the state, the statute of limitations might be defined by either the crime itself or by a class or category of crime. For a list of all states' limitations, visit http://law.findlaw.com/state-laws/criminal-statute-of-limitations/ . In most instances, the suspect must have resided in the state and remained visible, or "arrestable," for the duration. If the suspect has been a fugitive from justice, the statute will toll (freeze) until the suspect is found, and then the limit will start afresh.

Six years unless it's listed as an exception. The list of exceptions is listed at http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/277-63.htm
