Hi there: First off,I must say,I find it very odd,that your attorney is getting the run-around by the DA's office,and can't get any answers that you need.If it was just you calling,well,that's another story.

That said,the rules are different on indicting someone when they are in jail,and when their out on bond as you are.If custody,the prosecution has 90 days to indict from date of arrest,2010 Georgia Code ::  TITLE 17 - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ::  CHAPTER 7 - PRETRIAL PROCEEDINGS ::  ARTICLE 3 - INDICTMENTS ::  § 17-7-50 - Right to grand jury hearing within 90 days where bail refused; right to have bail set absent hearing within 90 day period

Since you have been out on bond for two years,it's difficult to say what has happened with you case,and I would imagine that any further investigation to support the charge(es) should have been completed within this two year period.

Hopefully,your Attorney will be able to provide you with an answer sometime soon.Also,be aware that in Georgia the prosecutor can choose to either indict,or file what is called an "Information" where there will be a Preliminary Hearing before the judge instead of the Grand Jury.
