In a criminal proceeding,what is the difference between an indictment and an information?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An indictment is issued by a grand jury, while an information is filed by a prosecutor without a grand jury present. Therefore, the main difference between the two is the involvement of a grand jury. The other options are incorrect: both indictments and informations charge a defendant with a crime, guilt or innocence is determined at trial (not just in an indictment), and both require proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
