Ralph is fired from his job as a teller at the local bank. A few nights later he burglarizes the bank and escapes with over $50,000. Police are baffled at the crime and have no leads as to the identity of the culprit

Over six years after the crime, Ralph's now ex-wife contacts the police and identifies Ralph as the burglar. Latent fingerprints originally found at the crime scene are matched to Ralph's fingerprints. However, the state cannot prosecute Ralph for the burglary because: A) the testimony of an ex-wife cannot be used as evidence against the husband. B) Ralph's fingerprints may have been left in the bank vault when he was employed at the bank. C) the statute of limitations for burglary is five years and Ralph was not identified until over six years had passed since the crime was committed. D) the state has only a circumstantial case against Ralph.
