Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. King James 2000 Bible. Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. American King James Version.
If the conviction for contempt resulted from the defendant's failure to perform an act that he is still able to perform, the court may simply order him imprisoned until he performs it. In California, the statute of limitations for contempt is two years after the act or omission that constituted the contempt occurred.
Certain federal crimes have a shorter limitations period. 1  Copyright violations â 3 years â For copyright violations brought under 17 U.S.C. Â§ 507(a), the statute of limitations has been shortened to three years. Note that copyright violations under Title 18 keep the 5 year statute of limitations.

Note that all other criminal contempt charges under Title 18 keep the 5 year statute of limitations.
