Indictment

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

In common law, an indictment is a charge saying that a person committed a very serious crime. They used to be given out by grand juries, but many places don't have grand juries anymore. Sealed indictments are kept secret until they are unsealed.
