Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure 475
- 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 it is necessary to make an averment in an indictment relative to any instrument or object which consists wholly or in part of writing or figures, pictures or designs, it is sufficient to describe the instrument or object by any name or description by which it is usually known or by which it may be identified, or by its purport, without setting forth a copy or facsimile of the whole or any part thereof.
