So if being indicted what does that mean
Indictment means formal accusation initiating a criminal case, presented by a grand jury. In Georgia, it indicates that the jury found enough evidence to warrant a trial for the charges. It's not a conviction or proof of guilt.
So basically they will have to go to trail
Yes, generally, an indictment leads to a trial unless a plea deal is agreed upon or the charges are dismissed. It's advisable to get legal representation to navigate this process.
Okay how will I know if a plea deal went into affect
A plea deal becomes effective once it's accepted by the court. Usually, the court issues a written judgment or order confirming the plea agreement. You can check the case docket for updates. Always consult with your attorney for precise information.
What is special condition means
In the context of legal proceedings, a "special condition" typically refers to specific requirements or restrictions imposed by the court as part of a sentence, probation, or bail agreement. These conditions must be met to avoid penalties. Always consult an attorney for accurate understanding.
What does concurrent means
In legal terms, "concurrent" often refers to sentences. If a person is sentenced to serve "concurrent" sentences, it means they serve all sentences at the same time. For instance, if given two *-year concurrent sentences, the total time served would be 5 years. Always consult an attorney for accurate understanding.
So why would he be able to go to another jail if he’s been sentenced?
In some cases, a person who's been sentenced might be transferred to another jail due to various reasons such as facility overcrowding, security concerns, or if they're participating in a specific program not offered in the current facility. Always consult an attorney for an accurate understanding.
No he went for other charges
If the individual has been transferred to another jail due to other charges, it means there are additional legal processes pending. Can you provide more information about these other charges? And are these charges also from Georgia?
Yes still in ga
If the other charges are in Georgia as well, these could potentially be tried separately or together. Transferring to another jail could be part of this process. Consult with your attorney for case-specific advice.
Okay so would he do his time in the other jail
If the person was transferred to another jail due to additional charges, then they may serve their time there, especially if the sentences are concurrent. However, this depends on various factors like the nature of the charges, the jurisdiction, and the capacity of the facilities. Always consult an attorney to understand the specifics.
How can I find out what happened at court
