Since when is there a statue of limitations on murder charges?

They already had arrested these people; there is a statute of limitations on how long you can keep them in custody/on bail without either sending them to trial or letting them go. The statute is on the prior charges.

I believe the statute of limitations in this case is on the police holding these men without advancing their case.

Speedy trial and all that. 3 years is more than plenty to figure this crap out.

I think it is a poorly written statement in the article.

There is no statute of limitations for murder.

There is a statute of limitations for the charges they were all arrested upon. They were about to expire.

All the bikers arrested following the shooting were charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, a felony, but prosecutors have dropped 154 of those cases in the last four months, saying they wanted to focus on those who were “more culpable.”

This is the most messed up prosecution I've ever witnessed. Wac(k)o living up to it's reputation with Fed help.

Also note this from the same link I gave you:

he indictment by McLennan County prosecutors marks the first murder charges in the Waco, Texas case and comes just eight days before the statute of limitations runs out. More than 20 other bikers were re-indicted on new charges, ranging from rioting to tampering with evidence.

rioting? tempering with evidence? Now remember the were all considered accessories to organized crime and murder. Truly sickening judicial process. Of the remaining charged, I wonder how many will ultimately be convicted? My gut tells me, very few.
