Right to a speedy trial in Georgia?
461205
You can file a motion for dismissal on the grounds that the defendant's right to due process has been violated, but this is something that is really best left to an attorney.\n\nIt is extremely rare that a motion for dismissal filed by someone representing him/herself is successful.

In Chisholm v. Georgia (1792), the Supreme Court held that it had the right to hear cases of individual citizens against states, in particular a state in which they do not reside. The states found that they did not particularly like this situation, and thus they passed the 11th amendment, which essentially gives the several states sovreign immunity from being made a party to a suit.

This right has more to do with delays being reasonable or unreasonable, than the actual length of the delays. Whether the delay is reasonable or not would depend on the docket of the court in jurisdiction, and the complexity of the case.

your only real right is to remain silent........\n\n==========================================\n\nThe purpose of the arraignment setting is to determine the defendantís plea to the offense charged. At the arraignment, the defendant may enter a plea of guilty, not guilty or nolo contendere (no contest). If the plea is guilty or nolo contendere, the defendant may give an explanation in mitigation of any fine to be assessed prior to the judge assessing a fine. If a not guilty plea is entered, the case will be set for a trial at a later date. If the defendant wishes to have a trial by jury, a jury request may be made at the arraignment.\n\nPLEAS\n\nUnder our American system of justice, all persons are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. On a plea of not guilty, a formal trial is held. As in all criminal trials, the State is required to prove the guilt of the defendant "beyond a reasonable doubt" of the offense charged in the complaint before a defendant can be found guilty by a judge or jury.\n\nYour decision concerning which plea to enter is very important. If you plead guilty or nolo contendere in open court, you should be prepared to pay the fine and court costs.\n\nPlea of Guilty- By a plea of guilty, you admit that the act is prohibited by law, that you committed the act charged, and that you have no defense or excuse for your act. Before entering your plea of guilty, however, you should understand the following:\n\nThe State has the burden of proving that you violated the law.\n\n \n\nTRIALS\n\nYou have the right to hear the State's evidence and to require the State to prove that you violated the law; and\n\nA plea of guilty may be used against you later in a civil suit if there was a traffic accident.\n\nPlea of Nolo contendere (No Contest)- A plea of nolo contendere means that you do not contest the State's charge against you. You will almost certainly be found guilty, unless you are eligible and successfully complete a driving safety course and/or court ordered probation. Also, a plea of nolo contendere cannot be used against you in a subsequent civil suit for damages.\n\nPlea of Not Guilty - A plea of not guilty means that you are informing the Court that you deny guilt or that you have a defense in your case, and that the State must prove what it has charged against you. If you plead not guilty, you will need to decide whether to hire an attorney to represent you.\n\nA request for a trial may in person at the scheduled arraignment, by written correspondence, or by defendant's attorney. A request for trial shall indicate a plea of "Not Guilty" and specify either a jury or a non-jury (bench) trial.\n\nBench trials (trials before the judge) and jury trials are held on Wednesdays as required. The specific date for a trial will be set at the time a plea of not guilty is entered. On the day of trials, trials will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until the docket is completed.\n\nFailure of the defendant to appear at the time his/her case is called may result in a charge of "Failure to Appear" being filed and warrants being issued for his/her arrest. If the trial is a jury trial, the defendant may also be required to pay the costs of impaneling the jury.

It deals with the right of a citizen to have a trial decided by a jury of her peers.

The funny thing is that there could be two types of trespassers at Augusta.  There isa criminal and a civil definition.\n\n  If you do not have the right to be on the ground of this property, you may have committed the criminal act of going into somebody else's land or property without permission of the owner or lessee, a criminal act in Georgia, which if it is your first offense, could receive a fine of up to 1000 dollars under current state law (judges decision), unless there are aggravating factors.   Aggravating factors involved with your trespass such as assault, theft, etc, could make it worse.\n\nThe interesting part of this is that the golfers could actually committ trespassing as well, but are punishable only under the civil definition of trespassing.  Hitting a ball into the yard of a person whose property abutts a gold course could give grounds for a tort that may be a valid cause of action to seek judicial relief and possibly damages through a lawsuit, don't laugh there is precedent.

Georgia Law does not require that a State Trooper show you his radar, more properly called speed detection device.  In fact, they don't have to lock your speed on the unit at all.  Municipal police officers, i.e., city, county and state universities, must ask you if you would like for them to conduct a series of tests on the speed detection device to see if it is working properly.  That's all that is required before they can issue a citation.  Oh yea, I forgot.  It's a huge safety issue to let a person come back to the patrol car unless he/she is under arrest.  Some officers have obliged the request to see the radar and have ended up being struck by passing motorists.

It depends on what the judge set at the trial.  It could be anywhere from 2-5 years.  You need to find out what time frame the judge gave.

Well, I hate the bearer of bad news, but I don't believe there is a certain time limit on those indictments.  If you recall, the recent civil right murder trials were 40+ years after the crime and the grand jury indicted.  \n\nThat may be different on capital offenses though.  Otherwise, it might depend on the crime and the corresponding statute of limitations.

Contact the court.  If you completed the program and got a good evaluation the DUI is supposed to go away as I understand it.  If you do nothing it should be there for all to see.  You can pay an attorney a small fee and have him make the contact and file a brief requesting dismissal of the "conviction."   You cannot move the matter to GA.  \n   Question:  Why in the world did you not complete and wrap up this important matter?

I assume this is a criminal case.\n\nIf you are the victim, you have no rights.  The state will or will not prosecute the crime when they want, when they get the evidence they need.  You can't do anything, and neither can your attorney.\n\nIf you are the defendant, you can't demand a trial, but you can ask your lawyer if they are violating your Constitutional right to a speedy trial.  If you aren't in jail, then your rights probably aren't being violated, and there's nothing you can do.  If you really want the matter to end, ask your lawyer if a plea deal with the prosecution is possible.

No because it is too late.  You allowed the person to be found guilty already and is awaiting sentencing.  You can make a statement to the judge before sentence is passed down by the judge.

One.\n\nA Judicial Panel of 9 judges will examine the trial and all the evidence presented. They have no time limit.\n\nIf they uphold the verdict, the punishment must happen within 30 days.
