Terms Used In Missouri Laws 476.160
- Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
- 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.
Persons punished for contempt under the provisions of sections 476.010 to 476.310 shall, notwithstanding, be liable to indictment for such contempt, if the same be an indictable offense; but the court before which a conviction shall be had on such indictment shall, in forming its sentence, take into consideration the punishment before inflicted.
