“They wouldn’t know he was dead”
How do you know that? Maybe they cross-reference with the SSDI database, it wouldn’t be very hard to do.
“there’s no reason to suppose they “cut a deal””
It’s a more reasonable supposition than any of yours.
“I doubt if Courts cancel warrants for “failing to appear” under any circumstances relevant here.”
Is there a statute of limitations on “failure to appear”, or the original charge? It’s very likely that they cancel warrants after the statute has run out, since there would be no point to chasing people who you cannot prosecute.
“Maybe they cross-reference with the SSDI database, it wouldn’t be very hard to do.”
Even if they did, which I doubt, his death was never verified.
Is there a statute of limitation on failing to answer a warrant and interstate flight and falsifying a death record? Ask a lawyer or Google.
