Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-3210

  • Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
  • 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 commission and return is delivered by the commissioner to an agent he must deliver the same to the clerk to whom it is directed or to the judge of the court in which the indictment is pending, by whom it may be received and opened, upon the agent making affidavit that he received it from the hands of the commissioner, and that it has not been opened or altered since he received it.
