Someone I know has an outstanding bench warrant in a criminal case for failure to appear. Is he technically a fugitive? He's requested I help him out with some bills, and I've done so in the past. Am I "aiding and abetting" if I pay his electric bill, or offer him other financial aid?
The individual you want to help just needs to get that bench warrant for failure to appear taken care of as soon as possible. Perhaps lending money to help him or her retain an attorney might be a better allocation of funds.
A condition of my house arrest was to take IOP classes. Now I am getting off house arrest, so I don't have to keep taking classes, correct?

File suit against them in District Court in our county.
Criminal Defense case
On the average, about 60 days.
No. There is no crime.
Very unlikely. You can go redocket them yourself and hope they don’t arrest you then or before the court date, but that’s an awfully big risk.
Hire a lawyer to get the warrant set aside and resolve the case.

He cannot be tried as an adult although charges could be brought in juvenile court. If he has no record, probably a dismissal or diversion is your end result.
