In and of itself, I don't see there being a problem with a juror being an old classmate of the judge. The primary consideration for a juror to be seated is whether or not he/she is able to be fair and impartial under the present circumstances. If the juror was an old classmate of the... Read more »

If the convictions stemmed from one succinct criminal transaction and all against the same victim, then the aggravated assault convictions should have merged with the aggravated battery conviction for sentencing purposes. See Regent v. State, 299 Ga. 172, 787 S.E.2d 217 (Ga. 2016). However, note... Read more »

Need more facts to answer this question. The hearsay evidentiary rule excludes out of court statements that are offered to prove the truth of whatever it asserts.

How long does this process take the district court to do this? Is the psr always redone
answered on Mar 10, 2022
It all depends on why the resentencing was ordered. If it has to do with information in the PSR, such as guideline calculations, then the PSR will be revised accordingly, although the presentence investigation is not redone in its entirety.

First of all, I am not a GA attorney. That being said, if this was a criminal proceeding, you have 30 days from sentencing. Regardless, it's 30 calendar days not 30 business days for an appeal. You could still file a motion for new trial with trial court, however, that motion --generally--will... Read more »

The first and only thing she should do now is secure defense counsel. She should not be speaking with anyone about the situation - period. Only discussions with legal counsel are protected.

Honestly, there are too many moving parts in your situation. It would be best for you to sit down with an attorney to discuss the problems you have individually and more specifically.

Simple assault is a misdemeanor. As such, it carries up to 12 months in jail. I would suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for representation.

You need to ask your trial lawyer for guidance on the appeal, as you are entitled to at least one level of appeal. http://www.gapubdef.org/ can assist you if the trial attorney is incommunicado.
For private assistance I recommend folks use Adam Hames, Ms. Leighann Webster or Scott Key.
