Terms Used In Missouri Laws 545.060
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The name of the prosecutor must be affixed to such indictment; but no indictment shall be quashed for the want of affixing such name, if the same shall be made before the motion to quash is disposed of, and in no case shall the judgment be arrested or the trial discontinued after it has been commenced, for the want of such endorsement.
