.... it is known as a 'True Bill of Indictment.'
Indictment by a grand jury is the manner in which the government
charges individuals with commission of a crime. The prosecutor
presents proofs before the members of the Grand Jury to convince
them that sufficient evidence exists to charge an individual with a
crime. If the Grand Jury agrees that the individual should be so
charged it issues a written statement making the charges. The
statement is called an indictment.
