What does "indicted" mean exactly?

Formally accused

[–] seesaw@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

what's the difference between formal accusation and informal one?

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Indicted means a grand jury filed charges. Not just "accused" like "I accused you of steeling my lunch money".

But like, formally charged by a grand jury in a court of law.
