Terms Used In South Carolina Code 25-1-3135
- 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.
Trial by court-martial of an accused does not act as a bar to indictment, trial, and punishment by the courts of general sessions for violation of any of the criminal laws of the State of South Carolina which the accused may have committed.
