Question

I have a friend who is locked up and has been given a bond. He is in the county and been in there for over 30 days. The crime happened in 2006 and he never reported back to court but got pulled over 30 days ago and never was offered a bond. Is this correct he also want to know do the 180 day rule applies to this case. This is a white collar crime it involves purchasing a car under a fake name can you please help me with this case.

Answer

You don't get a free pass under the 180 day rule for being on the lamb. I need information to assess his situation. Feel free to contact my office.

Answer

The 180 day rule isn't going to help. He needs to focus on getting a lawyer and any defenses he may have.
