1Opinion of the Court
Hines, Justice.
Lamberson was arrested July 31, 1994, and charged with felony theft by taking and financial transaction card fraud. Acting pursuant to OCGA § 17-7-70.1, the Cobb County District Attorney instituted criminal prosecution against Lamberson by felony accusation, rather than seeking an indictment by the grand jury. Lamberson filed what she styled a “Motion for Writ of Habeas Corpus” asserting that this statute violates both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. We disagree and affirm the trial court’s decision denying her “Motion.”
