What is the formal written statement that is presented by the grand jury?

I think you are probably confusing the word "accusation" for the word 'indictment.' Grand Juries hand down indictments. An indictment is a 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.


Can a defendant be indicted on a grand larceny charge before being arrested in the state of New York?

Yes, a defendant can be indicted on a grand larceny charge in New York before being arrested. An indictment is a formal accusation initiated by a grand jury based on evidence presented, which can occur independently of an arrest. This means that law enforcement may proceed to arrest the individual after the indictment has been issued. However, the indictment itself does not require the defendant to be in custody at the time it is handed down.


When is indictment handed down?

An indictment is typically handed down after a grand jury reviews evidence presented by a prosecutor and determines that there is sufficient cause to charge an individual with a crime. This process usually occurs before a formal criminal trial begins. The timing can vary based on the complexity of the case and the jurisdiction, but it generally happens after an investigation is complete and before any arraignment or trial proceedings.
