Terms Used In Alabama Code 15-8-51

  • 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 act is criminal, if producing different results, such results may be charged in an indictment in the same count in the alternative.
