Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure 474

  • 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.

When it is necessary to make an averment in an indictment as to money, treasury notes or certificates, banknotes or other securities intended to circulate as money, it is sufficient to describe them or any of them as money, without specifying the particular character, denomination, kind, species, or nature thereof.
