Terms Used In Tennessee Code 40-13-215

  • 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.

In indictments for fraudulently keeping in possession or concealing counterfeit money or bank notes, it is not necessary to aver in the indictment that the party charged intended to pass or impose the counterfeit money or bank notes on the community as good money, but it shall appear in proof that the counterfeit money or bank notes were possessed or concealed with the fraudulent intent that they should get into circulation and with a knowledge that they were counterfeit.
