An explantion explaining something
A formal written statement presented to a grand jury is typically referred to as an indictment. An indictment lays out the details of the charges against a defendant and is used to establish probable cause to proceed with a criminal trial.
If a defendant is eligible for a bench trial or trial by judge, the magistrate then has the authority to dismiss charges against the accused if evidence warrants it. If the defendant issues a written statement that he or she wishes to forgo a jury trial, the government agrees and the court approves, a bench trial can convene.
