Example: I steal something but get seen and the guards are now chasing me. I escape and sell the stolen item to a fence (I created one specifically for this). Does selling to a fence remove the criminal status, and if not, how can I do that when I sell stolen goods?
I'm sure I read somewhere that criminal status is removed after a specific period of time, but I would rather it be removed when I offload the stolen goods.
At the same time: How do I remove the criminal status of a murderer? Is this a time dependent thing, and if so, what is the time limit set on it.
