Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-3912
- 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.
- Juror: A person who is on the jury.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The same challenges may be taken by either party to the panel of jurors, or to any individual juror, for cause, as on the trial of an indictment for a misdemeanor; but the challenges must in all cases be tried by the court; the defendant is entitled to four (4) peremptory challenges and the prosecution to four (4).
