What would you do in this situation?

You find out after being with your spouse/partner for twenty years that he/she murdered someone when they were 17 and they were never caught. It was not premeditated.

Do you turn him/her in or do you not say anything and keep the secret?

This is the scenario in a book I’m reading right now

Does murder have a statute of limitation/

@Dino11 generally no. There's no statute of limitations for "heinous crimes". In certain cases a judge can rule a statute on the basis of a fair and speedy trial if the murder occured long ago and the defendent's alibis are no longer living or of reasonably sound mind.
