Criminal indictment is a legal document that the people's procuratorate brings a public prosecution against the defendant in the people's court on behalf of the state in accordance with legal procedures. Because it is put forward as a public prosecutor, it is also called public prosecution. The indictment is a printed document. Apart from the first and second parts, there are mainly three parts, of which "criminal facts and evidence" are generally the main body of the indictment. For cases of different nature, the criminal characteristics stipulated by law should be written; The facts about the crime must be clearly written in terms of time, place, means, purpose (motivation), process and consequences. Pay attention to the consistency of facts and time before and after, and protect the victim's reputation. Narrating criminal facts should be based on the characteristics of the case, with appropriate details and clear priorities.
2. How long after receiving the criminal indictment?
It is not clear whether the criminal case is a criminal public prosecution case or a criminal private prosecution case; Criminal public prosecution cases are filed by local procuratorates, and criminal private prosecution cases are also called direct prosecution cases, which are filed by the injured party. I won't go into details here. The time limit from hearing to sentencing is similar. Generally speaking, the date of trial will be indicated in the indictment. If not specified, the court will open in 10 days. After accepting a case, the competent court shall pronounce a judgment (which has been called concluded) within one month, but not more than one and a half months at the latest.
