Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure 476
- 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 words, whether spoken, written or otherwise recorded, or to any plan, map, or picture, it is sufficient to set forth the words by their general purport, or to describe the plan, map, or picture generally, without setting forth a copy or facsimile thereof.
