Never, they can find you 40 years later and arrest you.

I've always been of the understanding that a deferred sentence means that; if a person is found guilty of an offence they can be sentenced to say one year in prison deferred for a period of two years. And what that means is that if during that period of two years (the probationary period) no further offence is committed, the one year sentence will not be applied. Converseley, if within that two year period a further offence is committed then the original sentence is automatically added to whatever sentence is given for the later conviction.\n\nSo. If Mr Smith steals a car and is found guilty of the crime, he is sentenced to one year in prison deferred for two years. If in that two years he is found guilty of stealing a second car and is sentenced to one year in prison for that crime, he will go to prison for two years. If in the same two years he doesn't steal another car or commit any other offence, he doesn't go to prison at all.\n\nIGNORE THE ABOVE\n\nSorry young lady I got this wrong. I was confusing deferred conviction with suspended sentencing. They are similar but not the same. I checked with one of my colleagues today and the definition you are looking for is as follows:\n\n'Deferred adjudication is available in some jurisdictions for certain offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, and/or some type of community supervision. If all the conditions of probation are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence, and in some jurisdictions, no permament record of the crime will be made. Typically, at the end of the probationary period the charge will be dismissed and no record of conviction will result. Deferred adjudication may be available to eligible defendants upon recommendation by the prosecutor or at the discretion of the court'.\n\nSorry for the error. Slight difference between UK law and US law. I Hope I didn't cause you too much inconvenience.\n\nMy apologies also to the person who posted first and then withdrew after I posted. His answer was nearer to being correct than my first effort was.

Statutes of Limitations only apply when the perpetrator is unknown to the state.  A warrant names the person to be arrested, therefore the clock stops ticking when the warrant is issued.  As long as the warrant was issued before the statute of limitations expired it was valid.  The warrant lives until it is executed (the person is taken into custody) or the person is confirmed to be dead.

Probably 1 -2 years probation ...maybe pay some fines, or do community service for a certain number  of hours

If charges are filed, persued and she is found guilty how long she will serve depends on what State she is in, what the exact charges filed would be, and who the judge doing the sentencing is.  Sometimes in these cases, depending on the jurisdiction, probation is possible.  Also,  what he did and his past record of bad/criminal behavior is irrelevant to how much time she will serve.

there is no real average for this crime as it has many factors that govern sentencing. if the car was taken during the commission of another crime, if you  have prior convictions, was the car taken while the owner occupied the car, etc. If you average the time it usually comes out to about five to ten years in a state facility.

Chances are very good if he's already on probation.  It's up to the individual judge, but most cases I've heard of like this did get jail time.

30 days\n\n". . .and shall cause the fugitive to be delivered to such agent when he shall appear. If no such agent appears within thirty days from the time of the arrest, the prisoner may be discharged."

A warrant expires only if it is allowed to. If a warrant is close to it's expiration, then the judge usually renews it. There is no statute for limitations on warrants. There are statutes for limitations on some crimes (not all) and the limitations are for the period of time between when the crime is committed and when the person is charged.\n\nOnce a person is charged with a crime, the statue of limitations does not apply.

depens on how the sentence was handed down and if the person has to serve the time concurrently or not but mostplaces have things where you can work inside and get extra days for doing different things so it is possible that someone could get credit for 3 days at a time so its possible 30 days to the full sentence like i stated earlier depending on the sentencing guidelines handed down by the judge

That's an awfully broad question, but whatever it is you need to know, someone here will have an answer http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=128

Yes he/she is put in a local jail until the first appearence. Then its decided whether bond is necessary or not. If not then he/she will remain in jail until a plea bargain or trial is arranged. If a plea bargain is aranged and excepted then he/she is taken to prison know as General Population. If a trial is going to be set then he/she will be in jail or prison depending on when the trial begins.

If you mean\n\n1. City Jails:  Usually holding facilities for less than 48 hours.\n\n2. County Jails:  Holding facilities for un-sentenced and those awaiting trial.  Incarceration for those sentenced under 1 year. (misdemeanor and minor felonies)\n\n3. State Pens:  Convicted felons\n\n4. Federal Pens: Those serving sentences for federal crimes\n\nThere are also various prisons for illegal immigrants and secret jails for war criminals, etc.

There is no way to tell you from the information given as it depends entirely upon the rules in your state.\n\nIn my state, I would expect 3 years.\n\nSince you specified Texas, it does appear that you can apply to learn this inmate's projected release date if you have the proper information.  Take a look at the website below.

The laws vary from state-to-state.  As a general rule, any offender may waive extradition and be taken out of the jurisdiction he/she is being detained in and travel (in custody) to the jurisdiction what holds a valid arrest warrant.  However, some state may require that an "extradition hearing" take place in front of a judge prior to releasing the offender into anyone from any other state's jurisdiction.\n\nFor the most part, removing and offender from one jurisdiction to another is not that hard or complicated.  One must (in many cases) "jump through so legal hoops" to ensure that the offender that is charged with a particular crime, is not having his/her civil right violated and they are not being unduly punished.  For example: a person who is charged with a low level misdemeanor in one state may not be allowed by their current "home state", to transport someone from another state due to the fact that by the time the decision to release them from the custody to the receiving state, the time of incarceration for the crime that they are charged with may be exceeded.\n\nThis may sound very complex and confusing but the system is set up in Oder that a suspect is not held for months or even years for a  crime that the maximum punishment may by less than one year.

There is no general answer.  It depends on the jurisdiction, and then it depends on the particular judge what to do at sentencing time.  Most states take into consideration now whether this is a first offense or repeat offender, the property taken and whether anyone was actually hurt in the theft and so forth.

Even though a great deal of time has transpired since the original charge, there is a great probability that a warrant has been issued for failing to appear on the original charge. A person charged with a crime has an obligation to appear before a judge to have the matter resolved. A warrant can be issued at any tiume during that process if a person does not show up to court, even if they have shown up already. I would suggest that you contact the court of origin for your friend and see if there is a warrant. If there isn't one, then he/she is home free.
