Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 15:272
- Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The judge shall, upon proof of the loss, destruction or abstraction from the court of any indictment, information or bail bond, order that a certified copy from the judicial record of such lost, destroyed or abstracted document shall be substituted for the original and that the trial and all further proceedings in the cause be had as on the original.
