An indictment is the process by which a person is charged with a crime by a grand jury. A grand jury is presented with evidence by a prosecutor, and determines whether to return a "true bill" of indictment, or a "no bill". A true bill simply indicates that the grand jury believes it is more likely than not that a crime was committed and that the person charged (the "target") committed it. A no bill is returned if the grand jury believes that the evidence is insufficient to charge the person targeted with the offense.Arraignment is the hearing at which an accused person is informed of the charges against him and enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. Not all states use the same procedures. For example, my State of Indiana abolished "arraignments" in 1977. We now call the initial hearing the "initial hearing."
