The police CHARGE you with a crime when they arrest you. The information on you and the offense gets sent to the Grand Jury which, if they believe the information presented to them, INDICTS you.

Is being charged with a crime the same as an indictment for a crime?

Yes and no, to be indicted with a crime is to be a charged with a crime. However, the difference lies in the fact that you can be charged with a crime based on probable cause, where as to be indicted, a grand jury must review the information to determine if their is sufficient evidence to proceed with charging someone with a crime.So basically:Indicted: Prosecutor is not positive they have enough probable cause to charge a person with the commission of a crime so they use a grand jury to provide the evidence to a group of unbiased people to determine if they feel there is enough evidence to move forward with chargesCharged: Prosecutor has sufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal trial and feels they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you have committed a crime.

Does nolle prossed stay active after being indicted?

If you were indicted for a crime, then it wasn't for the charge that was Nolle Prossed. Nolle Prosequi means that prosecution was declined. If they declined to prosecute for the offense then you would never have been indicted - UNLESS - you were indicted by a "Special Grand Jury" who, independent of the prosecutor's office, was investigating a specific area of interest, and found your offense met their criteria.
