Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Is it illegal for an inmate not to know what's going on w/ their case? My husband was Indicted february 22, 2012. I found out because I called & asked, but he has yet to receive any paper work updating him on those changes to his case.

It is not illegal for an inmate to not know what is going on, because there are things that will happen everyday on their case, which they will not be apprised of. If I understand you correctly, your husband was indicted on 02/22/12 and you discovered it on 03/12/12, less than three weeks later, and you think he is not being informed. You are clueless. When he sits for three years and has no idea what is going on, then you will have some real complaints. You want to know what will happen on his case, view my website: www.lawrencelewispc.com It explains court process and charges and how pleas are constructed.

I urge you to reach out to your lawyer and express to him/her that you/your husband would like to discuss his case. When you meet, express your concerns and ask questions about what to expect in the immediate future.

Best regards,
