Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Faison

May 5, 2026

Summary

The court vacated the trial court’s order granting Faison immunity from prosecution and remanded for a proper statutory analysis. The trial court focused on whether the Sheriff could revoke Faison’s bail-recovery-agent authority but did not determine which statutory justification provision applied or whether Faison’s conduct satisfied that provision’s requirements. The court did not decide the Sheriff’s revocation authority or Faison’s remaining arguments.
