Transcript text: Question 1 (1 point) An indictment is also known as a a) felony. b) guilty verdict. c) true bill. d) capital case.
Solution
Answer
The answer is c) true bill.
Explanation
Option a: felony
A felony is a type of crime, typically more serious than a misdemeanor, and is not synonymous with an indictment.
Option b: guilty verdict
A guilty verdict is the decision of a judge or jury that a person is guilty of the crime they were charged with, which is different from an indictment.
Option c: true bill
A true bill is another term for an indictment. It is a formal charge or accusation of a serious crime, issued by a grand jury.
Option d: capital case
A capital case refers to a legal case where the death penalty is a possible punishment, which is not the same as an indictment.
