is there a time frame

[bthelp]

What is the name of your state?

I am from Georgia. My question is if someone turns themself in on a benchwarrant for failure to appear but doesn't get there in time to make the court calender for the next trial is there a time frame in which they are suppose to either be put before a judge or be given a public defender to speak with?
Thank you in advance for your help!

My situation might help with the question asked before. My boyfriend got a speeding ticket for under 15 mph over. He found a technicality(sp?) in the ticket and set up a bench trial to fight it. Yes If it were me and now that the situation is out of hand the ticket should have just been paid. However he had a work emergency and forgot to show up for court and a bench warrant was issued. I called the court to find out what to do from here and they said for him to turn himself in closer to the next court date of Oct 11th. When he did, he didn't get there in time for the court to put him on the calender and they say the next court date is in December. My main problem with this is that he owns a sole propriotership and is the sole provider of him, myself and 6yr old therefore if he isn't working we have no money. After explaining this to the Judge they said they would try to sched. a chamber trial but it would just depend on whether it can be worked in or not. So..he has now been in jail since Tuesday night and hasn't seen a judge or public defender yet and could possible end up sitting there unsentenced untill December. Does anyone have any advice....
Thanks
