Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-2410

  • Arrest: Taking physical custody of a person by lawful authority.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • 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.
The effect of allowing a motion in arrest of judgment is to place the defendant in the same situation in which he was before the indictment was found.
