Indictment
It means that charges are dropped by a Grand Jury and the persons record is cleared.
At common law, and in many states, a grand jury can return charges in either of two ways. One is to vote on a set of charges submitted by a prosecutor; these charges are contained in a proposed indictment, and if the grand jurors decide there is probable cause to support the charges, they vote a "true bill," that is, they vote to return the indictment and initiate a criminal proceeding. If the grand jurors decide there is not probable cause to support the charges, or that the charges should not be pursued for other reasons, they vote a "no true bill," which means the indictment is not returned and no criminal case ensues.
.... 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.
Basically,whena person charged with a crime chooses to plead guiltyinstead of going to trial. The court has the option of accepting or denying the action at its descretion as does the prosecutor.
A nonsupervening indictment refers to a legal situation in which a new indictment is issued without the prior indictment being dismissed or resolved. This means that the accused can face multiple charges simultaneously, often for different offenses. In such cases, the legal proceedings can become more complex, as the defendant must address multiple sets of allegations. The term emphasizes the continuation of legal actions without interruption from previous charges.
