Re: extadition

First off, you basic premise is flawed. The statute of limitations would never run with the cases in warrant status. As for the chances of extradition, that depends on the state to which you flee. My experience has been that overtime the states work more and more cooperatively. That taken in combination with the fact that the cases would never "run out" means that at some point you'll have to answer for the allegations. My advice to you is to handle them now. If you need assistance with the matters contact me directly.
