This is not the word "indict" (legally accuse) which is pronounced the same way. The rarely used, practically archaic word indite is a transitive verb meaning to form a literary composition.This is the likely use:"The grand jury decided to indict the governor for his corrupt actions.""He chose to indict others for his own failings."The other word:"He would often stop in the rain to indite a poem or two.""The writer sought to indite his experiences by writing a diary reflecting his thoughts and feelings."
The grand jury does not convict anyone of anything. The grand jury hears the evidence presented by the prosecutor. If the grand jury thinks the prosecutor has adequate evidence, then the grand jury indicts that person. A trial will then be held before a petite jury, or small jury. It is that jury that determines if someone will get the death penalty.
They answer questions put to them by the prosecutor in charge of the grand jury and occasionally, answer questions from members of the grand jury itself.
A petit jury in a criminal trial decides whether or not a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The other type of jury, the Grand Jury, decides whether or not there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against a defendant prior to the trial. It does not decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. Therefore the Grand Jury is not bound by the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
Grand Jury Européen was created in 1996.
People are not convicted by the grand jury. The grand jury only listens to the evidence to see if there is enough for an indictment.
When referring to a particular grand jury (i.e.: The Essex County Grand Jury), yes. When simply just referring to grand juries in general no, it is not necessary.
There are a few purposes of a grand jury. The main reason for having a grand jury is to make sure that there will be a fair trial.
A Grand Jury is a term where, basically, the state puts their case to the Grand Jury and the Jury basically tells them if they believe that there is a case to answer. The Grand Jury does not hear the whole case and doesnt make a decision on anyones guilt or innocence. Grand Juries can be empaneled at state and federal level.
A grand jury listens to evidence and decides if a trial is warranted.
one is grand and one is not your welcome
