    Default Can a Person Be Extradited on a Failure to Appear?

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: colorado. can a person who was charged with a felony 4 theft and forgery and a felony 6 theft in colorado, be extradited from another state, say alabama, after 3 and a half years. the person was released after 6 months on a pr bond and never went to court. now there is a failure to appear. is there a statute of limitations and what are they.

    Yes, a person can be extradicted from one state to another at any time. The statute of limitations only concerns the time between a crime's allegedly being committed and its formally being charged by the government. It appears that the alleged crime was formally charged, but the person failed to appear in court. The person may challenge extradition (not the person in the warrant/not in the jurisdiction when the crime was alleged to have been committed), or waive extradition. The person should have a lawyer check into the matter, as some prosecutors may be convinced, depending on the severity (or lack thereof) of the charges and the time that has passed to dismiss the extradition (Governor's) warrant and allow the person to be released pending the court date in the receiving state.
