Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Re: hi

Because your relationship with the victim and whether he or she presses charges is not a criteria for the judge's consideration of your eligibility for bail. The case now belongs to the State, and they can make the case with or without the victim's consent.

Among the permissible factors for considering bail are: likelihood of flight from the jurisdiction, likelihood to commit additional similar offenses against other victims or the same victim, the severity of the crime charged, and your prior criminal history.
