I was charged with aggravated battery for injury to the ear, charged with aggravated battery for the injury to the back of the head and charged with aggravated assault in general for the victim

You can be charged with pretty much anything they want to charge you with. The important question is whether they can convict you. If you face serious felony charges such as these, it is important to hire a criminal defense lawyer to protect you and your rights.

There are multiple issues with my paperwork... Starting from the time I was arrested, warrant that was filed (while I was in custody), and officers' statement. Also, there is another defendant's evidence report in my discovery packet, even though I do not have any co-defendants.

Sounds like you need to release your SC lawyer and get a Georgia lawyer. If you don’t have a lawyer, you could talk to opposing counsel yourself and learn the settlement offer.

Evidence would certainly be necessary at trial to convict a person of any crime. There are different types of evidence... physical evidence of course, but also testimony is considered evidence.
If the person entered a guilty plea, the State would not need to present evidence.

His sentence is under the 17-10-7(c). And the defendant never was notified of his sentence being controlled by this code. And for 9 years he was pic and parole eligible until his parole month. Are they legally able to do this? He wasn't indicted or convicted in court under this statue
answered on Jun 5, 2020
The original sentence would have to be done under the recidivist statute. So, you’d need to check the original plea/sentence. They can’t decide later to add the recidivist language.

He does not have a bond he has a misdemnor charge of theft by taking as well he has been offered 10 do 3 or drug court but is still sitting 10 months later no court date, I need him out
answered on Jun 3, 2020
I’m not exactly sure what your question is, but he may be eligible for a bond. You should talk to a lawyer who can investigate the matter, and determine the best course of action. If the offer is 10 do 3, he’s charged with more than a misdemeanor.

Depends on the crime attempted. Generally the maximum sentence is one half of the maximum sentence of the crime attempted.
For example if Burglary has a 20 year maximum, then attempted burglary would have a 10 year maximum.

All the money is in his account. He thinks all the cars and the house is he's. I have access to credit card can I use it? It is in his name but Im on it.
answered on Apr 25, 2020
The money is likely marital property, and thus would belong to both of you. You can certainly use the credit card to get your own lawyer.

Georgia is an "equitable distribution state" which means that all marital property acquired during the marriage is subject to division.
