Been fighting back and forth for criminal trial and finally been offered a plea bargain. First judge said no but going back in front of another who is certain to sign and accept. Just worried that might be added a charge. Was promised first offenders act of Georgia with the two charges.
You need an attorney.
Sounds like an interesting question. Probably not. Of course, proving you were in an alcohol blackout might be difficult.
Was he convicted of the crime?
The daughter might have a justification defense to charges.
Two years.

I am going through the appeals process on a criminal case. I have file several motions for appeal. I called to check the status and was told the first time that the motion had been received and was in the judges chambers. I called back a couple of weeks later and now they are saying that they...

When you file a motion, you should get a copy file stamped by the Clerk for your records. Once you have the file stamped copy, if they "lose it", you have proof of the filing.

You can ask the court to appoint you a lawyer if you cannot afford one. You can also attend court and ask the court for a continuance to hire a lawyer.
I was barred because it’s a private store and the owner don’t like my attitude
There is no requirement that you receive written notice to stay away from a private business. You can be charged with criminal trespass if you return. The State will have to prove that you have previously been told to stay away and a verbal notice can count.
From the lawyer or the court. We tried called the lawyer couple but he is always not in the office and they say the going to call us back but they don’t. And now he doesn’t know what to do
If you have a bench warrant for missing a court date I would encourage you to get with your lawyer and appear in court on any court day to ask that the warrant be recalled. The longer your absence the harder it is to correct.
What is the longest jail time that I should serve if they bound it over to superior court
You need a good attorney

How to find out if the police had knowledge that drugs were being brought in to the jail prior to the event and allowed it to happen??
What does one issue have to do with the other?
I was charged with felony shoplifting in 2004, I think I was arraigned but never sentenced. No next court date came in the mail. In 2016 a warrant was issued for my arrest and I was arrested and given 7 years probation. Was this legal? Or should there had been a "reasonable" time to... Read more »
Once you have been arraigned, there is no statute issue. The warrant was issued for failure to appear.
Misdemeanors do not impact your ability to have a concealed carry license. If you have family violence-based misdemeanor convictions, then you will not be able to own a firearm at all.
Legal document needed to be signed by a judge however it was signed by a government employee in place of judge.
No, you cannot arrest anyone. If you think a crime has been committed, call the police.
Not likely.
My son was a convicted felon and girlfriend brought gun into situation ..after struggle she was shot but survived..my son got 5 yrs for being around gun and she has not had any charges ...she done it on purpose to ruin his life because he was leaving her
Your son needs (needed) a lawyer.
You should call the police and see if they will take it up as criminal trespass or the like. You might also sue civilly for trespass. See an attorney
if the state of Ga give a case to the feds and the defendant goes to ajury trial and was fond not guilty and the state picks the same case back up and now the Da want to file a motion or nolle prosequi in my case but i want to be exonerated and clear me from further prosecution later. please help me
You cannot make the State do anything. Nolle Prosequi, kills the case. The State might later be able to revive the case. You may have defenses to the States case, should they bring it again. Such as res judicata, and the statute of limitations. Res judicata -- issue was already decided in... Read more »

Yes, you can call the police and ask the police to make a report. Whether they will do it or not is another issue.
