Terms Used In Indiana Code 35-36-6-6
- 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.
- Venue: The geographical location in which a case is tried.
Sec. 6. If on a new prosecution a defendant is prosecuted for the offense in the court to which the change of venue was taken, a new indictment may be found, or a new information may be filed, and the case may be prosecuted to final execution as if the offense had been committed in the county of that court. However, the indictment or information in such a case must state how the proceeding came into the court where the party elects to be tried, and that he has elected to be tried in that county.
