A criminal indictment is a written statement charging an individual
with committing a crime or other offense, drawn up by a prosecuting
attorney and found and presented by a grand jury. It is a formal
accusation initiating a criminal case and usually required for
felonies and other serious crimes. This book contains a
transcription of the 1801-1843 criminal indictment book located in
the archives section of the courthouse in Leesburg, Virginia.
Entries have been abstracted in full, and typically provide the
date of the proceeding; details of the offense; name of the accused
(and slave owner, if the accused is a slave), the victim, justices,
attorney, witnesses, and security; and the court's ruling on the
case. A full-name index adds to the value of this excellent
resource.
