indictment First, there is an arrest and the police report that follows. The prosecutor then reads the police report and decides whether or not the arrested should be charged with a crime. Alternatively, the prosecutor can go to a grand jury and ask them to decide what criminal charges should be filed (an indictment).

indict definition indict Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

indict definition, meaning, what is indict: If a law court or a grand jury indicts someone, it accuses them officially of a crime:
Mario Freitas Dec 2, 2016:
Crimes = Criminal Code only There are hundreds of trials of wrondoers that do not involve crimes, such as contractual breaches, employer/emplyee relation offenses, commercial offenses, etc. Whatever is not in the criminal/penal codes but is in the constitution, labor codes, commercial codes, and many others, is subject to trial in court in case of infraction and are not crimes at all.
In such cases, the offender cannot be indicted or accused or go to trial if they are incompetent.
I suggest you take a look at the definition of crime. If you get a ticket for driving at 75 miles per hour, you're not a criminal. It will only become a crime if you hit someone on the way, for example.

indictable offenses that are not crimes ?? >Now, the potential defendant may be accused or indicted for offenses >that are not crimes,
what are indictable offenses that are not crimes ??
Mario Freitas Dec 1, 2016:
Indeed Except for "minors", they are all synonyms, indeed. I just meant the word "imputável" necessarily implies an accusation (and potential guilt). So, IMO, the translation either has to mention "criminally", "indictment" or "accusation". Now, the potential defendant may be accused or indicted for offenses that are not crimes, and if they are legally incompetent, they would also be "inimputável". So criminally is still not 100% correct, IMO. Further, I think those who suggested "responsible" should use "liable" in this case instead.
But, as you said, let Lilian make her decision.
Gilmar Fernandes Dec 1, 2016:
Mario, I believe all these answers so far, except for "minors" are all synonymous. In one way or other they convey the idea, now it will be a matter of style that Lillian will want to adopt for her translation.
Mario Freitas Nov 30, 2016:
@ Gilmar Incompetent in the Brazilian law is the so-called "Incapaz", exactly what you explained in your post.
The "inumputável", however, is the one who cannot be accused or indicted in a crime, precisely for being incompetent. But the term has to do with the possibility of accusing that person and indicting them as a defendant in a trial.

minors

' minors deemed below the age of legal competence' might work when being fitted into the overall sentence ;
Peer comment(s):

neutral Mario Freitas : Yes, but it also mentions adults with mental issues, so the term has to apply to both categories.

Not necessarily; it mentions adolescents; and they are below the capacity of legal competence.
