Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
a friend was charged with malles murder but they gave him abond and he is out they gave him a plea date what can we exspect
3 Answers from Attorneys
The penalty for malice murder can be death or life in prison. Given the seriousness of the charge, I assume he has a lawyer and his lawyer is the one to call about the case.
You (whatever your relation to the case), can expect the defendant to discuss his case with his lawyer.
your friend got a bond for malice murder? The only penalty is life in prison. So, at the plea date the prosecutor would either have to reduce the charge from malice murder to something else, or offer a life sentence, which means 30 years before eligibility for parole. I would suspect that an attorney is needed. See website on how to locate the right attorney: www.lawrencelewispc.com
