What is an 'Indictment'?

  1. A legal defense

  2. A final verdict

  3. A written accusation by a Grand Jury

  4. A judge's ruling

The correct answer is: A written accusation by a Grand Jury

An indictment is not a legal defense (A), as it is not used to argue against a criminal charge. It is also not a final verdict (B), as it is the initial step in a criminal case, not the final decision. It is not a judge's ruling (D), as an indictment comes from a Grand Jury, not a judge. Therefore, the correct answer is C a written accusation by a Grand Jury. A Grand Jury consists of citizens who review evidence and determine if there is enough evidence for a trial to take place. If they determine there is enough evidence, they issue an indictment, which formally charges the person with a crime and begins the legal process.
