What is a true bill?

A true bill is a formal written indictment issued by a grand jury, charging the accused individual or individuals with a specific crime. It signifies that the grand jury has found sufficient evidence to support the charges brought against the defendant. Once a true bill is issued, the case moves forward to trial or further legal proceedings. It is an important step in the criminal justice process to ensure that individuals are not unjustly accused or prosecuted without sufficient evidence.
