Expungement North Carolina of Contempt Appeal, Pardon, Motion, Writ

If a bench warrant exists because you were held in contempt of court, its not a criminal violation.
It is a discretionary sanction imposed against you by a judge.
Nevertheless, its a warrant that ONLY the issuing judge can recall.
That won't happen until you appear in court before that judge and begin the healing process by offering a sincere, humbling, and profuse apology.
The judge might have you held in a cell for a couple of hours to teach you respect for the court.
Or, the apology might be enough to let bygones be bygones.

There might be further sanctions the prosecutor is (or could) seek.

Bottom line, you can't just "call off" court like you do on a job.
It isn't easy to fix when a judge thinks you failed to respect the authority of the court.
Its not the end of the world unless they think you threw the trial to help a bad guy.

Anyway, good luck.
