Anvil - This is a CIVIL Bench Warrant under California rules. Ed can appear with his attorney, explain the reasons, and be released. No cuffs required.
That's not true at all. I've had a bench warrant issued for me before. It was girls failure to appear, I didn't read the date correctly. I called they withdrew the warrant and set up a new court date. It was no big deal. Ed is not shaking in his boots.
