Terms Used In Missouri Laws 545.640
- 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.
Where there are several defendants in any indictment or criminal prosecution and the cause of the removal thereof exists only as to part of them, the other defendants shall be tried and all proceedings had against them, in the county in which the case is pending, in all respects as if no order of removal had been made as to any defendant.
