My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
We found out today that my boyfriend has a warrant without bail because he missed his court date to show proof of progress in a mandated class. He has all info ready and is in good standing with his class, BUT he had mixed the dates up and came 10 days too late to court. He was to turn himself in, but is there any way he can avoid jail time because it was such a small mistake, the judge did not give him a chance by giving him a regular bench warrant. Can he call the public defenders and have them put him on the schedule?
