If the customer won the civil trial, you are now precluded from contesting that judgment other than by means of an appeal. Presumably the text messages providing direct proof of the lies were offered into evidence by your attorney at that trial. If not, why not? They’re not newly discovered... View More

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... View 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... View More

I would advise you to have a consultation with an attorney. This isn't a place where you can get information on complex issues regarding a case that has already been adjudicated. See a lawyer in person and I would take a copy of my file with me.
And can I raise this in a second habeas corpus

There is no "conflict of interest" when a trial attorney handles the appeal.

Whether or not the tape would be admissible would depend on why it's being offered. However, generally speaking, the fact that the person on the tape had been drinking would not in itself make it inadmissible.

I filed many times teying to get thr Judge to respond. Is this action by the Judge legal?

I regret that your question did not contain enough information to formulate an answer. For example, what is the case about? You said you have filed your "arguments"--that still does not give me enough information. And can you appeal--still not enough information...

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... View More
