Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Harris

September 4, 2024319 Ga. 665

Summary

The Court reversed the transfer of Harris’s case from superior court to juvenile court. It held that the statutory deadline was satisfied when the grand jury returned a timely true bill on at least one superior-court charge, and that a later reindictment adding charges did not deprive the superior court of jurisdiction. The Court also overruled the contrary appellate interpretation.
