Yes, it definitely is an issue. It is not rampant, but it happens.
Read moreThe sentencing date itself is public information and the easiest thing to track down. Contact the Clerk of the Court in the county where the charges were filed. That office maintains the court calendar and can tell you when the sentencing hearing is scheduled.
