Re: questions on a criminal case

There really aren't enough facts given to answer your question. Inactive does not mean closed, though. You have to look through the docket sheets to see what the last action was. If it was a bench warrant then the defendant missed a hearing and, even if there were five continuances, that bench warrant is still out there.
