Terms Used In Tennessee Code 40-33-106
- 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.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
In any county having more than one (1) circuit court, or both a circuit court and a criminal court, the court in the county having jurisdiction of the indictment and trial of all matters relating to the offenses for which forfeiture of a conveyance may be imposed shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the disposition of the conveyances.
