I'll never be able to shave.
- (chuckles) (indistinct chatter) Illma: I got a call
from Evan saying, "Oh no, I think I
started something." So we started researching
how to change the law and the statute of limitations
is clearly the problem because, statistically,
a lot of victims take seven to 10 years
to even recognize that they were a
victim of this abuse. Evan: When we set out
to write the bill, the statute of
limitations for reporting domestic violence
crimes in California was only one to three years. We wanted to eliminate the
statute of limitations completely, but in working with legislators, we settled on asking
to extend the statute to seven to 10 years
as a compromise. And that's how democracy
works, you know?

Illma: I got a call
from Evan saying,

"Oh no, I think I

00:00:12.375 --> 00:00:15.835
So we started researching
how to change the law
00:00:15.917 --> 00:00:18.837
and the statute of limitations
is clearly the problem
00:00:18.917 --> 00:00:20.547
because, statistically,
a lot of victims
00:00:20.625 --> 00:00:23.415
take seven to 10 years
to even recognize
00:00:23.005 --> 00:00:25.075
that they were a
victim of this abuse.
00:00:27.292 --> 00:00:29.912
Evan: When we set out
to write the bill,
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.059
the statute of
limitations for reporting
00:00:32.708 --> 00:00:35.128
domestic violence
crimes in California
00:00:35.208 --> 00:00:37.748
was only one to three years.
00:00:37.833 --> 00:00:41.953
We wanted to eliminate the
statute of limitations completely,
00:00:42.002 --> 00:00:44.662
but in working with legislators,
00:00:44.075 --> 00:00:48.092
we settled on asking
to extend the statute
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.042
to seven to 10 years
as a compromise.
