- A: The persons that failed to appear remain subject to prosecution. Jeapordy did not attach to those individuals since they did not appear to defend themselves. There may be reasons that the failure to disclose "Brady" material in the case of accused number one will impact the prosecution of accused 2 and 3. It is impossible to say given the facts stated.
- Q. If someone fails to appear in court in Arkansas are they considered a fugitive?
- A: If the Court issues a warrant for the arrest of an accused for failure to appear, the accused may be considered a fugitive. That is, the active warrant subjects the person named in the warrant to arrest and detention. The term "fugitive" is sometimes used to invoke jurisdiction of law enforcement agencies like the U.S. Marshals Service. U.S. Marshals may assist local authorities apprehend as "fugitives" persons who are fleeing from state prosecution.
