Sparta, WI asked in Criminal Law and Domestic Violence for Georgia

Q: Does a defendant have the right to file for a speedy trial in GA? 4 felony charges domestic violence related.

My cousin has been in carcerated in a GA county jail for approx 2 months and don't know when he'll make his 1st appearance. Isn't there a law against waiting so long to see a judge?

A: You need to ask this question in a Georgia forum instead of a Minnesota forum. Laws vary significantly from state to state.

A: It sounds like the question relates to a case in the State of Georgia. This is a Minnesota criminal law forum. Try the question in the Georgia criminal law forum. Each state has different laws.
