My brother is in federal prison in oklahoma with a release date of 2010. He qualifies to be released to a halfway house this year however he must handle any active warrants. He has an active warrant in Arapahoe county colorado regarding forgery. Public defenders office says they cant take the case because its active. We have filed a motion for review. The DA denied his motion for a speedy trial. no luck. he really needs to get this handled
