Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

First, who will determine if it was self-defense. If a jury finds you NOT GUILTY of aggravated assault, after you argue self-defense at trial, and the violation of probation (VOP) judge accepts that the verdict means you were protecting yourself, then there will be no violation of probation. IF the VOP judge makes his own determination about the self-defense, the jury can find you NOT GUILTY, and the judge can violate the probation.

Second, I don't know what ran together means. If you mean "merge" together, then there is only one charge. If you mean the sentences on the two charges were "run concurrent" then there are still two separate charges.
