I haven't been following this story at all, save for the little blips I happen to hear on MSNBC, etc. but the statute of limitations was the first thing that popped into my head. Can they actually, legally hold him 32 years after the crime occurred? And wasn't he charged in the case? If so, arresting him is double jeopardy, unless he committed another crime in the meantime.

Once again, I plead my ignorance and would love to be enlightened to the deeper aspects of the story, but his arrest seems a little odd to me.
