Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-2011
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
If, either upon an exception to the challenge or a denial of the facts, the challenge is allowed, the court must discharge the jury, so far as the trial of the indictment in question is concerned. If it is disallowed, the court must direct the jury to be impaneled.
