The indictment just has to establish enough to arrest the person. And many prosecutors work hard to make sure it contains no more than enough to meet that stand

The indictment just has to establish enough to arrest the person. And many prosecutors work hard to make sure it contains no more than enough to meet that standard.
They’ll get a chance to amend the indictment before trial.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> The indictment just has to establish enough to arrest the person. The indictment doesn't actually have to do that, that's what has to be done to get to the indictment, but the indictment doesn't need to actually recapitulate the evidence that supports it, only the factual allegations that the grand jury found that the evidence supported.
