Q: how long can they make him wait for hearing
If a man is arrested on revocation and meets the criteria for requiring a hearing, how long does the state of georgia parole board have before they must provide that hearing. he hasn't had even the prelim or probable cause hearing. All they have done is ask him to sign a waiver and he refused.
A: Your question covers to many distinct topics, is the person on probation or parole? They have different procedures and standards. You can also have both and then have a violation that is based on a new offense which takes its own path. There are not preliminary hearings on probation revocations or parole revocations. Waivers are used to resolve probation cases without a hearing but also relate to extradition hearings. I would suggest you hire a lawyer.
