Terms Used In Tennessee Code 40-22-103

  • 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.

It is the duty of the presiding judge, where the execution of sentence and judgment has been suspended, as provided by § 40-22-102, to immediately transmit to the commissioner of correction and the board of parole a copy of the indictment or presentment, together with the judge’s reasons for suspending the sentence and judgment, and any other recommendations as the judge may think proper to make.
