If an offender is currently in jail charged with a crime and information/evidence is developed supporting a charge for another separate crime they may be charged and the court process, and his rights, will be same as his original charge. He will be tried seperately for each offense.

Yes, charges can still be made against an offender who is already in jail for another crime. The criminal justice system can initiate a separate legal process for the new charges. This can ultimately lead to a separate trial and potential legal consequences for the additional crime committed.

Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim, Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant. The state can continue to pursue domestic violence charges and prosecution in domestic situations now due to laws adopted after years of battered spouses dropping charges against their abusers because of fear and misguided loyalty.
