I couldn't agree more. Listen closely everyone: WARRANTS
NEVER EXPIRE! Talk to a criminal defense attorney immediately
and turn yourself in. If you can't afford to talk to an
attorney, turn yourself in anyway, ask for a court appointed
attorney and KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT TILL YOU TALK TO YOUR
ATTORNEY. MAKE NO STATEMENST, ANSWER NO QUESTIONS OTHER THAN
NAME, ETC. until you have spoken with an attorney.
