A quick definition of joint indictment:

Joint Indictment: A joint indictment is when two or more people are charged with the same crime. An indictment is a formal written accusation of a crime made by a grand jury and presented to a court for prosecution against the accused person. A barebones indictment only cites the language of the statute allegedly violated, while a duplicitous indictment contains two or more offenses in the same count or charges the same offense in more than one count.

A more thorough explanation:

A joint indictment is a legal term that refers to an indictment that charges two or more people with an offense. An indictment is a formal written accusation of a crime, made by a grand jury and presented to a court for prosecution against the accused person.

  • Two individuals are indicted for robbing a bank together. This is a joint indictment.
  • An individual is indicted for drug possession and distribution, and another individual is indicted for conspiracy to commit drug trafficking. This is also a joint indictment.

These examples illustrate how a joint indictment can be used when multiple individuals are involved in the same crime. It allows for all parties to be charged and prosecuted together.
