Surely you must be trolling?
I mean gee, all these Ivy League law professors (most of them not being Trump supporters) must not have been aware of that, somehow...
Besides, I very much doubt that the Manhattan District Attorney would go to all the effort of prosecuting a former president only to have not noticed that the statute of limitations has expired.
Actually I did, even if the burden of proof was on you. And no, statute of limitation doesn't "pause" for criminal cases for any reasons as for the reason of their existence is memories and evidence fading over time and to avoid wrongful convictions. Being out of state has no effect on that.

That's not the only novel legal theory being at play to convict for the first time a President here.

You mean Trump never went to New York for the past seven years? That's hard to believe...
1. NY paused it in 2020 due to COVID
2. Trump has lived outside of the state for a few years, meaning it's paused
