    Default Getting subpoenaed while under a bench warrant

    so in a lawyers expert opinion after i hit the stand as a witness am i going to be cuffed and locked up for a bench warrant curently standing one county over or should i do some hella crazy stuff th day of the trial to try to clear the warrant before entering the courtroom?? the bench warrant is totally unrelated to being subpoena'd as a witness but will the judge run my name thru a computer or something before i hit the stand and jes ask me to remain when court's done or do u guys think i'm pretty safe on this one??

    Default Bench Warrant

    The judge isn't going to check for warrants. The prosecutor may.
