  • 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.
  • person: includes a corporation as well as a natural person. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

When an intent to injure or defraud is necessary to constitute an offense, it is sufficient to allege in an indictment an intent to injure or defraud generally, without naming the particular person, corporation or government intended to be injured or defrauded.
