Terms Used In Alabama Code 15-18-60

  • 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.

When an indictment is for a misdemeanor and the court is of opinion that the prosecution is frivolous or malicious, the prosecutor is liable for the costs.
