"He broke the law! He solicited a minor for sex and was presented with a warrant."
No, he was accused of this. People are innocent until proven guilty where I come from.
Ah, so we're to have a trial, before the arrest? Then if the Bad Guy is convicted in the pre-arrest trial, he'll have to come in, but only if it's convenient, and not on a weekend or anything like that, for the real trial. Of course, that's only if there's no fringe on the flag in the courtroom.
Get off it, Vig. There was an arrest warrant for this whackjob. While it's not the case that anyone who is arrested is guilty, it's also true that judges don't just hand out arrest warrants.
The constituitional right to due process does not include taking one's innocent wife hostage and barricading oneself in one's home, and endangering one's neighbors enough to require an evacuation of the 2,011 surrounding acres, and certainly not murdering a police officer.
