Indictment Returned -- If the grand jury decides the evidence presented establishes probable cause, it issues an Indictment against the accused. At least 16 of the 23 members of the grand jury must be present to conduct business, and at least 12 jurors must vote to indict. The Indictment is called a True Bill.

How often do indictments come out?

Sets of indictments are made public usually a day or two after a grand jury meets. Check every week if necessary. Even if an indictment has not been returned, it does not mean court proceedings have paused.

How do I know if I have been indicted?

Check Federal Court Records

Check the nearest federal courthouse. The clerk's office there should maintain all indictment records. There should be a terminal in the office where your attorney can search by suspect or party name.
