    Question Absconding on a Federal Warrant

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: GA. If someone had a federal warrant from the US Marshals to appear in court regarding a violation of federal parole, and that person left the country, what will happen if he is caught? How much prison time, etc?

    There's no crime for being a fugitive. What will happen if they are caught in the US is they will be held until the US Marshalls decide to bring him to the district that got the warrant. If he's held by local authorites based on the warrant, they'll sit on him until the feds come and get him.

    He'll stay in jail until he can make a good case that he has provided collateral or whatever that demonstrates he'll return for trial.

    If he's on parole I'd think he had his trial already and was convicted.
