A formal written accusation issued by a grand jury against a party charged with a crime when it has determined that there is sufficient evidence to bring the accused to trial is indictment.
An indictment, also called a presented or true bill in the United States, is a formal indictment of a crime confirmed by a grand jury and presented to the court by a grand jury for the trial of the accused.
The grand jury system was abolished in Great Britain in 1933, and British law provides that indictments are brought to court when the defendant is tried by a judge and in certain other cases. The indictment establishes the court's jurisdiction to hear the case, properly informs the accused of the charges against them, enables the court to decide if convicted, and prevent a second prosecution for the same crime.
