I am also of the mind that sexual crimes should have no statute...
She says no, you do it anyway, you will pay eventually. End of story.

It isn't semantics. There is generally a big difference in what goes into common law murder or first degree murder (statute) and manslaughter.
With that said, I don't know why NJ has a SOL on manslaughter. That is idiotic. Maybe this case will change that in the future.
