Well, I would grant you it is not impossible, but it seems to me highly highly unlikely. If I had committed some common crime like theft and I was beyond the SOL I would probably have many other things to worry about than the possibility (1) the relevant jurisdiction would extend or eliminate the SOL and (2) the Supreme Court would overturn Stogner.
