A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.

The judge may or may not find your explanation suitable, but judges HATE to have their orders disobeyed. In any event you WILL have to appear, so you might as well do it voluntarily and get it over with.

Swami Prakashananda's side of the story and unanswered Questions ur say?
1) When the case was to be considered for prosecution..the recorded statement of the Accuser was not available and the accuser had a clouded memory is what was said.Lack of that recorded evidence would have been sufficient to throw out that case. Emphasis:Ramsay also rejected the defense's motion to conduct a sworn deposition of the accuser prior to trial....
2)Electronic equipment used for duplicating DVDs at the sherrif's office has since been replaced and is not available for examination, testimony showed.
"Bottom line, whether the DVD was intentionally destroyed or simply lost, it is gone - that creates a real problem for the prosecution in this case. And not only is that evidence not available, today we learned that they have either lost or destroyed the computer itself," said Austin attorney Joe Turner
3)regards ...1) and 2) How would one know what story they had when they came in? That is the first time they opened their mouth after 15 yrs. It was very crucial for a fair trial. 3 years after complaint they had plenty of chances to tighten any loopholes. Even then between them 200 questions by defense were answered by ' I don't remember'! Really....how can you forget anything from such an important event of your life. Now, that is if it indeed happened.
4)Accussers were Three friends - out of them 2 are sisters who are not supported by their own mother, father, sister and brother. Leave alone other people they grew up with. The third one's mother had no relationship with her for years is what I heard. You can see her rambling in many of these forums. She is not a follower anymore but was still not on the stand to support her daughter. Very strange
5)First, you must understand It is arguably the one crime or tort where the accused must literally try and prove a negative. To do so, please know that most judges and juries will err on the side of caution - on the side of a woman's or child's abuse outcry.
6)As a suspect in an abuse case, be arrested and jailed, ruin your future career prospects, and in some cases, have friends and relatives turn against you. If it is a sexual abuse charge, add to the list having criminal charges filed against you, your name added to a Central Registry of potential child abusers, and label yourself a sex offender.
This is all before you have been convicted, possibly not even charged with anything, and are supposedly presumed innocent until proved guilty. You may find yourself fighting charges in civil, criminal and juvenile court, sometimes all at the same time.
Does Lennie renshaw have any warrants in Iowa?
He has 2: one for oral copulation on his neighbor's puppy and one for peeping at his momma while she made a B.M.
Yes, if the court in Arizona believes the offense is serious enough to justify spending the money to send someone to get you in Colorado and bring you back to Arizona. And the word you're looking for is "extraditable," I think.

Is there only on type of warrant?
A warrant is an order given by an authorized official for a specific duty to be carried out. Your unemployment check, or other state check is a warrant (look at one carefully in Florida), because it is issued by the state's Comptroller, and it orders that a specific amount of money be paid to the payee on the check (Warrant). By the same token, there are several types of warrant, and the most common type are those issued by judges. They are either search warrants, ordering the police to search a home, car, or other structure that would otherwise not be allowed to be entered by anyone not authorized to do so, or they are warrants known as capii (pural for capias), which are warrants for a person's arrest and to be brought to court to answer any charges or other reasons for which the capias was issued. Examples of capii are: arrest warrants, which order police to arrest and charge someone with a new crime; VOP warrants to arrest someone for violation of probation; bench warrants, which is signed from the judge's bench, normally for failure to appear in court or contempt of court (witnesses who don't appear for example), and a writ of bodily attachment, which is issued for a person not charged with a crime, but fails to appear as a defendant for a civil case or a witness for a civil case.
You can file a motion to recall warrant and explained to the judge the situation.
Added: If the warrant that was supposed to have been withdrawn WAS served on you and you were taken into custody. . . when you appear in court, the record of your previous appearance will be reflected in the case file. You will probably be released - hopefully with an apology - but if you are asking what remedy you may have to this oversight . . . you will have to consult with an attorney for that advice.
During any arrest, while you were in your car, the officer has the right and duty to himself to check as thoroughly as possible that he and you are not in danger from any contraband guns, drugs, etc. It is part of the standard procedure of any arrest in the U.S. when you are stopped in your car. Also, normally the car will be towed and in bigger cities, inventoried for your protection, as well as theirs. Anything illegal in your car is generally fair game when you are arresed while in your car.
How old dose a person have to be to take out warrant?
Individual citizens do NOT "take out warrants." A warrant may be applied for by law enforcement personnel ONLY.
However, if you are legally an adult, and your state of residence allows such a procedure, you may "swear out a complaint" against an individual who will then be summoned to a hearing to determine if grounds exist for criminal action
