Talk to a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn that handles death cases. Understand that they can only prove what the law will accept as proof--the burden is on your side to prove what is, the other side can just sit back and say it wasn't proven.

Q: If one was convicted of a non-violent felony. Could one ask for a modern day banishment like to the wilds of Alaska?

Of course there would be stipulations to the sentence. But it is equally a form of punishment and isolation as incarceration. It gives plenty of time to reflect upon ones actions through time and hardships. With the right wording and examples could a judge be convinced to except such a sentencing?

Not going to happen, in a federal court. I know of no instance of that occurring. Federal sentencing guidelines do not have that particular punishment on the books. Just plain old federal prison, if sentenced to serve time.

Yes, it can happen. Apparently, the amount of evidence you provided was enough to convince a judge, who would hear the facts you gave to that investigator, of "probable cause" to arrest your ex.

Most likely not, without getting a judicial warrant. If you have proof of this, such actions may represent crimes.

If you have a significant tax liability owed and you feel that the IRS or state taxing authority is about to pursue criminal charges against you, which is the only reason someone would have you under surveillance, then you should contact a tax attorney in your area right away.

Possibly so, but the circumstances of the event will determine that. For example, if the person claimed being an attorney to convince you to send him/her money to settle a lawsuit or claim, that would likely be something a Prosecutor would want to pursue.

If he crossed state lines to have sex with a person under 18, it's a violation of Federal Law.(The Mann Act). If he's arrested under this code section, he should hire a lawyer immediately.

Burglary, in Georgia, typically carries prison time. The length and type of "typical" prison sentence varies widely in GA, depending on Judge and Prosecutor, and the FACTS of each case.

Georgia law says 1 to 20 years, for first time offender. Title 16-7-1.
