Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-1602

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • 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.
If the motion to set aside the indictment is not made the defendant is precluded from afterward taking the objections mentioned in the last section.
