If a bench warrant is issued for someone who failed to arrive at a court hearing for shoplifting what happens?
Unless you turn yourself in, a police officer will arrest you at the first opportunity regardless of what your are doing or what problem it causes to you. You may be arrested at work and then fired, you may be arrested at home and your kids put in foster care. You will be booked and photographed and held until you appear in front of a judge for the shoplift and the failure to appear. You will probably be held until trial because you already failed to appear once.
What is remand in Ireland?
The system of remand is used in Ireland, the UK and many other countries which follow the UK legal system. When a person appears in court accused of a crime, there is often a preliminary hearing to decide if there is a case to answer and the actual trial takes place at a later date. Until this trial happens, to keep control of the accused person who has not yet been convicted, they may be "remanded on bail", meaning they put up an amount of money which is forfeited if they fail to appear for trial. Alternatively, if the court decides that they might interfere with witnesses, leave the country or otherwise fail to appear regardless of bail they may be "remanded in custody" meaning they are imprisoned until the trial.
How long do failure to appears stay on your record in ca?
A failure to appear stays active until you appear and resolve the underlying charge. Failing to appear is not a new charge, and therefore is not adjudicated or added to a criminal record. Instead, when you fail to appear, a bench warrant is issued, the current charge is put on hold, and in some cases, your bond is forfeited or your driver's license is suspended.
If you have been arrested for a crime but found innocent in a trial is your record cleared?
No not automatically. The record of your arrest, and your charge and the not guilty verdict will appear unless/until you request it be expunged.
Can you report an armed robbery then not testify?
Every jurisdiction must give the accused a right to face his accuser. Therefore the victim of a crime MUST appear in court to give testimony. There are a few rare exceptions for situations in which the examination and opportunity to cross-examine are done before trial in a criminal trial. These may occur if the witness is unlikely to appear at trial, in other words to die before trial. The defendant must have an opportunity to be present at these proceedings. The state and/or the defense can and do force eyewitnesses and victims of crimes to testify at trial. This is done ALL THE TIME. Either side (or the judge, for that matter) can subpoena (that is get a court order) to bring witnesses into court. You can be arrested and held until you testify or until it is decided you are not needed in the proceedings.

How many sets of juries have to come to a hung decision before a case is thrown out?
It doesn't work that way. If the jury is truly hung, a mistrial will be declared. After the mistrial, the parties decide whether to have a new trial with a new jury. In the event that the second jury is hung, another mistrial would be declared, and the parties can choose to have another trial. This goes on and on until the parties settle, voluntarily opt to dismiss, or a trial results in a verdict.
