Terms Used In South Carolina Code 17-19-50
- 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.
In all cases whatsoever in which it shall be necessary to make any averment in any indictment as to any instrument, whether the instrument consists wholly or in part of writing, print or figures, it shall be sufficient to describe such instrument by any name or designation by which it may be usually known or by the purport thereof and in such manner as to sufficiently identify such instrument without setting out any copy or facsimile of the whole or any part thereof.
