As long as they want it to take. There's no set time. It depends on the people involved. You'll have to ask them.

Hello T:

They have 72 hours to file charges on him... Obviously, they've done that and are seeking an indictment to bolster their charges...

If they've NOT filed charges and given him a bail hearing, he needs a lawyer. He needs a lawyer anyway, but he really needs one NOW.

They need to set bail. They can take months to ever get to trial, in Georgia on a charge like this, the average time to trail is about 12 to 14 months. If a person does not make bail, sometimes it is a little faster.
