Q: I was arrested in 2004 for burglary, and never went to trial, how do i fix this? what's the punishment?
A:
When you say you went into trial, do you mean you never showed up for your trial? Do you know if there are warrants issued for your arrest?
Please do not put more facts here as cops and DA's surf these sites. You can call my office at (714) 321-9999 for a free consult.

A: Based on your description, you most likely have an active warrant for your arrest. You need to consult privately with a criminal lawyer to review the situation and legal options.
A:
more info needed
you never appeared or they never filed?
if they filed and you did NOT appear then there is a BW (bench warranted) issued.
