IN JAIL FOR AGG. ASSAULT W/DEADLY WEAPON ARRESTED ON 7-30-16 AS OF 8-16-16 STILL NOT FILED CASE OR CHARGED NO GRAND JURY INDICTMENT YET

Answer

A bond should be set on the case, regardless of the status of the indictment; if not, contact a local attorney. An indictment should be filed within 90 days, and again, if the charging instrument is not filed by then, contact a local attorney.
