Terms Used In Tennessee Code 40-25-118

  • 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.
  • State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the several territories of the United States. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105

In all felony cases, after indictment is found, in which the state may eventually become liable, the clerk of the court shall certify at the adjournment of each term of the court, all fees of the sheriff for board of the prisoners; and also the fees for boarding the juries in cases in which there has been no final disposition.
