Can you extend visa waiver program admission to face trial in US?

Accepted answer

You can't extend your stay in the US if you've been admitted under the visa waiver program (source)

Note that there are limited circumstances in which a short extension might be granted, but these relate to things outside your control that render it impossible for you to leave.

I speculate that the judge is planning to lock you up to ensure that you can't be deported for overstaying.

In any case, it's not travel advice you need, but legal advice. You should ask your lawyer.
