Hill v. State

1 Citing case

  1. Nunnally v. State

    311 Ga. App. 558 (Ga. Ct. App. 2011)   Cited 6 times
    In Nunnally v. State, 311 Ga.App. 558, 716 S.E.2d 608 (2011), we extended the same reasoning to the question of whether the sole 90–day extension allowed by the statute must be requested prior to the running of the 180–day period, concluding that because the superior court loses jurisdiction once the 180–day period expires, an indictment returned after that period and the trial court's after-the-fact grant of an extension were unauthorized and void.

    (Emphasis in original.) Hill v. State, 309 Ga.App. 531, 533, 710 S.E.2d 667 (2011). Thus, because Hill was not indicted within 180 days of his detention, “[u]nder the plain language of the statute, it was mandatory that the case be transferred back to the juvenile court.
