Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I live in Savannah, Ga. My boyfriend is currently in jail here, for accusations of a convicted felon with a firearm. He has not been indicted but his bond was denied, so he's basically just sitting. Can anyone clarify why his bond was denied if his probation officer doesn't have a hold on him. Also if you know any cases similar where bonds were granted can you lost them, please. Thank you.

Convicted felon in possession of a firearm is a very serious offense (and if he's already o probation he is in serious trouble). He could potentially do years in prison. If you have not done it, the one thing he needs you most to do is get him a lawyer. If bond is possible, a lawyer will know how to seek it. There is no place to look up trial cases and it really would help you to know that thousands of Georgians have gotten a bond for that offense, and others have been denied bond. Each case stands on its own merits.
