Juvenile Failure to Appear

[prismatic1]

Nebraska. I have a brother being tried in juvenile court for marijuana production. He has already been found guilty and is awaiting a sentence. If he was to flee to California what would be the consequences? Would he be extradited back to Nebraska? Would it affect him in any way after he becomes an adult? And would it be possible for them to transfer his case to adult court if he doesn't appear?

Answers would be appreciated, thanks

Ahh...yeah...it would affect him as an adult! The old and new charges won't just go away it he takes off....And as a matter of fact, I will guarantee you that if he pulls this stunt, he will spend much, much more time in prison than if he deals with his situation now. The warrants the police will issue will be good for life and cross state lines...that means if he gets pulled over for speeding, running a light or whatever...his warrant (s) WILL show and he will be arrested and will be extradited beck to Nebraska. He will never be able to get any kind of job or fly or schooling...his life will suck! Tell him to deal with this now and not make it worse!

A warrant would be issued for his arrest. The warrant will never die and will follow him into adulthood. Additional charges may result.
