Terms Used In Alabama Code 15-8-130

  • Indictment: The formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.

An indictment must not be quashed, dismissed, discontinued or abandoned without the permission of the court, and such permission must be entered of record.
