Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Your friend needs a new Georgia criminal defense attorney if he is getting blown off by his current attorney.

As I understand your statement (not question) your friend has an attorney. Either a legal aid attorney (which probably means public defender), or some type of court appointed attorney. The attorney is supposedly asking where is the evidence, and being disregarded. If the attorney really wants to know the answer, he files a statutory speedy trial demand (your friend has been indicted) and demands that 12 people put put in the jury box to hear the evidence, If there is no evidence, the judge will declare a directed verdict. If there is just enough to survive a directed verdict, the jury will find him not guilty. If there is a great deal fo evidence, then your friend will go to prison. If the attorney is scared to try the case before a jury, then he doesn't need to talk about how there is no evidence, he needs to talk about resigning from the case. My suggestion: either put your money toghether for a private attorney or be patient, your friend will have a jury trial.
