1. I received
a subpoena to testify as a witness for the "State of Georgia." What does
this mean?
If you have received a subpoena
from the State Court to testify on behalf of "the State of Georgia" that
means that you are believed by a local law enforcement agency currently
prosecuting a case against a defendant in the State Court to be a
witness in the case listed on your subpoena. Contact the Solicitor
General’s office upon receiving the subpoena, and give us your name,
address, and telephone numbers so that we may keep you apprised as to
whether or not you will be needed to testify and exactly what time you
will be needed for Court.
2. I received a
subpoena to testify in State Court, but my employer will not allow me to
miss work to testify in Court. What should I do?
Your subpoena is a lawful excuse to miss work. Contact the
Solicitor General’s office immediately and we will assign a Volunteer
Victim’s Advocate to assist you. If you will provide us with your
telephone number we will keep you apprised as to whether or not you will
be needed to testify and exactly what time you will be needed for Court.
3. I received a subpoena to testify,
but I have a small child and cannot arrange for day care. What should I
do?
4. I was a witness to a case now
pending in the State Court, but no one from law enforcement interviewed
me about the case. What should I do?
Contact the law enforcement agency that investigated the case if you
believe you have relevant information about the case to provide to them.
A list of all law enforcement agencies that prosecute cases in our State
Court is provided on our website by clicking
here. If you do not know which law enforcement agency
investigated the case, contact the Solicitor General’s Office at
(706) 923-2331
and we will direct you to the appropriate law
enforcement agency.
5. I have been contacted by a defense
attorney and asked to discuss a case with them that I am a witness in
for the prosecution. Do I have to talk to the defense attorney if I
don’t want to talk to him/her?
The Solicitor General’s Office is required by law to provide the defense
attorney with names, addresses and phone numbers of witnesses for the
State. Whether or not you choose to speak to a defense attorney is
solely your decision.
