well if you dont go to court then you can and probebly will get tracked down by the police and get a longer sentence in prison but..... if you do go they there will be less time to spend in prison so its better to go to court and its a death sentence because if you are a CRIMINAL you can go in jail for like 2 or 3 years and then when the police comes,they will take you out and eat some food but later,you have to speak to the court and say "I won"t do that anymore" and then you go to your home but if you do it again,you will spend like around 10 or 20 years in prison so be careful!
If you were sent a court summons or subpoena to show up and testify and you didnt go they could issue a bench warrant for failing to appear in court and you could be arrested and or fined ,However If you just told the person that you would come and testify for them and you did not receive a summons or subpoena from the court, then you are not bound by law to appear and nothing will happen whether they plead guilty or not.
no you will have to go to magistrates court at minimum to receive a criminal record
Yup. Think about it. if you have to go to court for a citation why would it be different for a criminal charge
It is a criminal offense and the defendant must appear in court to plead to the charge.
No. It is Civil Court not Criminal Court. There will be no warrant issued.
You could go to the court
Season 3; Episode 19
If you were left the information about the case, I'd at least try to call the court to determine if the subpoena was valid. They should be able to tell you something.
i dont know its just a tv show
Criminal records are a permanent part of your criminal history and do not 'go away.' You can, however, petition the court to have a charge considered for removai (expunction).
Minor offences typically go to a lower court, such as a municipal court or a magistrate's court. These courts handle less serious criminal or civil cases, and their jurisdiction varies depending on the region or country. They often handle traffic violations, minor infractions, or misdemeanors.
Because that is the court that, no doubt, has what is known as 'original jurisdiction' over the offense.
