official misconduct, statute of limitations

91-435
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
1992
STATE OF MONTANA,
-vs-
MONA LORRAINE HAMILTON,
The issue is whether the official misconduct charges brought
against Hamilton were based on a continuing course of conduct so
that they were not barred by the one-year statute of limitation for
misdemeanors.
We hold that the charges against Hamilton are subject to the
general one-year statute of limitation for misdemeanor offenses.
Assuming the truth of the allegations in the information
against Hamilton and the affidavit upon which it is based, every
element of each offense in Counts IV, VII, and IX occurred more
than one year prior to the filing of the information. The order of
the District Court dismissing Counts IV, VII, and IX is therefore
affirmed

About Me

Given was raised on the streets and in foster homes surrounded by twelve girls. By age 11, authorities already warned his foster mother: “He’s too smart for his britches — keep an eye on him.” That early spark of genius — later estimated in the 145–155+ IQ range (top 0.1% to 0.01% of humanity) — combined with an elite, poetic vocabulary that flows like open chords, propelled him into a life few could survive, let alone immortalize. From the age of 16, Given became a one-man crime wave: robbing 75 banks with nothing but a Bic Pen and a smile, inventing the Mercury Bandit invisibility trick with a baby thermometer, dropping through pharmacy roofs with a Superman pillowcase, and running from New Orleans detectives through the French Quarter while dressed as a 70-year-old woman. He served 12 years on a 10-year federal sentence, reading 120 volumes of Supreme Court decisions in the hole and ruling the law library like a throne. He met the devil twice on a dope-sick bed and refused to curse God — only to have angels physically grab his arm and pull him back. His 56+ stories pour out raw, unoutlined, and alive — no MFA polish, no ghostwriter, no filter. The prose is Hemingway-tight yet
