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.
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.
It is called an "Indictment" or sometimes referred to as, "A True Bill."
Yes. The question is a true statement.
A grand jury statement charging a crime typically includes evidence such as witness testimonies, physical evidence, documents, and any other relevant information that supports the accusation of a crime.
An indictment is a formal accusation or charge of a crime, typically issued by a grand jury based on evidence presented by a prosecutor. It signifies that the prosecutors believe there is enough evidence to bring the accused to trial.
When you are indicted by a grand jury, it means they have found enough evidence to formally charge you with a crime. The indictment process involves the grand jury reviewing evidence presented by prosecutors and deciding if there is probable cause to believe you committed the crime. If they agree, they will issue an indictment, which leads to a formal criminal trial.

.... it is known as a 'True Bill of Indictment.' Indictment by a grand jury is the manner in which the government charges individuals with commission of a crime. The prosecutor presents proofs before the members of the Grand Jury to convince them that sufficient evidence exists to charge an individual with a crime. If the Grand Jury agrees that the individual should be so charged it issues a written statement making the charges. The statement is called an indictment.
