Another 5,068 sealed indictments were just added to the Federal Criminal Database bringing the total to 383,881 cases. To make a comparison the number of sealed indictments has grown by 235,921 cases since January 2020.
CONTEXT:
What Is the Difference Between an Indictment and a Conviction or Charge?
The difference between indictments, convictions, and charges can be confusing.
Indictment: A serious criminal charge at the Federal or state level.
Multiple people can be accused in an indictment.
Conviction: A conviction occurs at the end of your criminal trial if you are found guilty. Those found not guilty are “acquitted.”
Charge: To be charged with a crime means a prosecutor has filed charges against the accused.
Indictment vs. charge: An indictment is similar to a charge. The difference is in who files the accusation. Indictments are filed by grand juries, while prosecutors file charges.
What Happens After a Grand Jury Indictment?
After a grand jury has indicted someone, a criminal trial will be arranged to review the evidence and determine the involvement of the accused.
Ask yourself, what other reason would there be that this many criminals are still free and haven’t been arrested? What insane country would we live in if we let standard, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, rico conspiracy, money laundering, and murderers, sit for years and years without arrest. I’m telling you right now it’s unprecedented, there has never been an event like this before in history. All I can say boys and girls is… Enjoy the show
...just toss them over there in the corner...
...along with the rest of them...
...yeah, the big pile...
“big pile?”… 💩, now that’s funny!
...doggy winks...
Can't there be between 1-99 (counts I think) people , papers , or things of sort under just one indictment each ? Seems I've read that awhile back. Hopefully someone can set this question straight.. Thanks for the post .
This is all I could dig up and it may even not be the correct criteria. 👉How Many Charges Can One Charging Document Contain? Posted on Apr. 15, 2015, 11:51 am by Jeff Welty How many charges can be placed on a single charging document, such as a citation, an arrest warrant, or an indictment? Old hands use the rule of thumb, no more than two charges per citation, no more than three charges in any other pleading. But where does that rule come from? And is it even correct?
No constitutional limit. There is no constitutional limit to the number of charges than can be brought in a single charging document. So long as each charge is supported by probable cause and is properly alleged, whether the charges are brought in a single document or broken up into multiple documents does not matter. Indeed, massive multi-count charging documents are common in some jurisdictions.
If it all pertains to the same individual, for roughly the same complex of actions, I don't see any reason why there should be a limit on the number of charges, if they are appropriate. There may be separate trials for each charge, or some charges may be mingled in one trial.
Thanks for clarifying!
