In Georgia, a person can be held in jail without being indicted for up to 90 days if they are arrested on felony charges. If an indictment has not been obtained within this timeframe, the individual must be released unless there are other legal grounds for detention. For misdemeanor charges, the limit is generally shorter, often around 30 days. However, these timelines can vary based on specific circumstances and legal proceedings.

An investigation may run for years, and an indictment would not be filed until the investigation completes. The 'clock' on your right to a speedy trial does not begin until after you have been arrested. There are time limits, however, in which charges may be filed (statutes of limitations). These limits depend on the state in which they occurred and the nature of the offense (there is no statute of limitations on murder, however).
