What happens when the defendant does not show up for a jury trial? A bench warrant and mistrial

Courtroom Four got a reprieve until Tuesday. Monday is a court holiday.

A mistrial had to be declared because the defendant didn't show up.

In addition to wasting a courtroom, court resources, Banda caused several jurors to waste time and miss work. She could have at least been considerate and absconded at trial assignment.

Banda is in custody. She wa booked into the jail on November 9.
