An indictment is a formal accusation or charge of having committed a crime, usually a felony, based on the judgment of a grand jury. An arraignment is a hearing in which a person accused of a crime is formally charged and enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. An information statement is similar to an indictment but is filed directly by the prosecutor without the grand jury process. A plea is the defendant's response to the charges, either guilty, not guilty, or no contest.
