Question

Does anyone know what the sentence for failure to appear is in knoxville tn?

Answer 1

In Indiana Failure to Appear usually means that you didn't show up for something at court, either a sentence for your original charge or a hearing for your sentence where the judge is going to tell you how long and how much to pay for your crime. So there is no sentence for "Failure to Appear" it's based on what you failed to appear for. It also usually means that you are going to stay in jail until you appear before the judge because you have already shown that you might not show up if you are released. As an example..you get pulled over and arrested for OWI..they take you to jail and give you a court date, you don't show up for that hearing, you will get a warrant for Failure to Appear for OWI..once they get you your sentence will be whatever the OWI penalty carries.
