- Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
- 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.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
Every chairman, director, or officer of the Authority who is guilty of a palpable omission of duty, or who is guilty of willful and corrupt oppression, malconduct, or misfeasance in office in discharge of the duties of his office shall be liable to indictment in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Any conviction hereunder shall constitute grounds for removal as provided in Sections 4 and 5 of this Act.
