An indictment has significant probative value?
Prosecutors can use indictment to show that the accusation and the probative value of evidences are significant or to use indictment to get a plea bargain. Significance of an indictment is only as significant of the alleged crime, the existence of evidence with probative value, and the sentence being sought. Whether the charge leads to a trial depends on the outcome of Preliminary Hearing. The prosecutor has to prove during the "preliminary hearing" that 1) there is enough evidence with probative value to convict the accused; and 2) it would be in the public's interest to conduct the trial and convict the accused. If a charge is brought on through indictment, the accused is entitled for a trial by jury. In Canada minor insignificant accusations can also be charged through indictment. In insignificant cases the value of indictment would probably be in the plea bargain as it does not make sense to try an insignificant case in a trial by jury.
