Indicted and Arraigned
Hola amigos. I need your help translating the words Indictment and Arraignment. For example: "The defendant was indicted by a grand jury, and will be formally arraigned in court this morning."
I have read and have been told by some that "Indictment" is "Procesamiento", and "Arraignment" is "Instruido." Is this right?

Re: Indicted and Arraigned
Hi Justice, in addition to MEM's valuable contribution, I would add that a posisble translation to your sentence would be
"El acusado fue hallado culpable (indicted) por el jurado y será sentenciado (o se le dictará sentencia) formalmente en el tribunal en la mañana de hoy". Hope it helps !!

Re: Indicted and Arraigned
I appreciate your suggestion, but how can that be if being Arraigned and Sentenced are two totally different things?

Not really Justice. Being Arraigned means that the person is to appear in court to hear his(her) sentence . Unless the Charges have not been read yet and the person in question has not been found guilty (convicted) yet. But I don´t think this is de case, becasue the person is being called "defendant", that means the trial is already in process

Re: Indicted and Arraigned
Right. I need to keep in mind that the meaning of "Arraignment" can be translated depending on the court proceedings. Thank you!

Re: Indicted and Arraigned
From the Oran Law Dictionary Arraign: To bring a defendant before a judge to hear the charges and to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, etc.). [pronounce: ah-rayn] Arraignment See arraign. From Diccionary Jurídico Inglés Español Arraign: Llevar a un acusado ante el juez para inculparle de las cargas que se le atribuyen y que declare su culpabilidad o inocencia Arraignment: acusación, demuncia, procesamiento "... comparecerá ante el Juez para la lectura de cargos en una audiencia preliminar" (that's the idea)  Do you get it now?

Re: Indicted and Arraigned
Quote:
I do get it Mem, but tell me, how can someone be indicted (acusado formalmente) by a Jury when it is not a Jury's place to acuse (press charges on) someone; but rather to determine whether that person is guilty or not. To the best of my knowledge a Grand Jury's decision is only issued after a fair trial and long after the charges have been read. In addition, a person is merely a suspect and not a defendant until a lawyer has been assigned (or chosen by the party in question) and the trial for the defense begins. Dont tou think? Maybe there is a factor here that I don´t understand
