No. You cannot appeal. However, what you describe is actually an ineffective assistance of counsel motion CR 11.42 in state court and a 2255 in federal court. You can file this motion.
and judge already set a bond of 10000 without being served etc. charged with engaging in organized crime. what is the chances of getting bond lowered if they know they cant pay that amount. and or how long can they keep them in jail for if they cant afford that bond amount

Yes. A sheriff can arrest you. If you call them and ask them what it’s about they’re not going to know where you are and you don’t necessarily have to follow their instructions to turn yourself in. My advice would be to borrow funds and pay the bench warrant.
answered on Oct 5, 2023
It is possible for you to file an Open Records request. Louisville Police are veryslow in replying to these. So basically, you can file an Open Records request for 911 call and body cam but it’ takes time. It is. Supposed to be within three days, but that rule is often violated.
Charged with a felony of wanton endangerment because during self defense of a threat to my life I fired a shot into the ground to scare away my threat

If you have an active bench warrant against you, you run a significant risk of being arrested if you go to a government office like the DMV to renew your license.
