Re: nephew not show up at court from county jail?

There could be any number of reasons why he was not on the bus from administrative (not enough seats on the bus) to more personal (rival gang member on the same bus). You will get the best answers by going to visit him during visiting hours at the jail, or by asking the public defender to find out when he has a chance. Unfortunately, you will probably need to be patient.
