Question: 1 / 400

An indictment handed down by a Grand Jury is known as a what?

Jurat

Verdict

True Bill

A Grand Jury is a legal body that decides whether there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime. An indictment is a formal charge or accusation against someone. A True Bill is essentially a formal indictment accepted by the Grand Jury, indicating that there is enough evidence to charge the individual.

Option A, Jurat, is actually a term used to describe a notarized document. It has no relation to an indictment.

Option B, Verdict, is a decision made by a judge or a jury in a criminal case, typically after a trial. This is not the same as an indictment, which is the initial charge or accusation.

Option D, Formal Accusation, is similar to an indictment in that it is a formal charge against someone. However, it is not specific to a Grand Jury and can also be used in a civilian court. Therefore, it is incorrect in this context
