Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

extortion

I have a friend who is currently being charged with 4 felonies, burglary, threats, theft, and one other which I cannot remember. The guy who is pressing charges against him told me that if he gave him 10,000 dollars he would drop the charges. Is this against the law, if he were on tape saying this could he be put in jail for this?

Re: extortion

Please give us a call, we will be more than happy to help. Generally, once the State has filed charges, it can be more difficult to "drop" the charges. Our numbers are 404-816-5000 or 1-888-883-9091. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerly,
