Supreme Court of Georgia
In the Interest of R. J. A., a Child
July 5, 2023
Summary
The Court denied certiorari, leaving undisturbed the Court of Appeals’ conclusion that the superior court retained jurisdiction because the juvenile was released on bond before the 180-day statutory period expired. Justice Pinson concurred in the denial, reasoning that the Court of Appeals reasonably applied the governing precedent but questioning whether courts should consult archival records outside an appellate opinion to determine the scope of its holding. Justice Warren joined the concurrence.
