What the indictment means

A grand jury indictment is a formal court step in a criminal case. It does not by itself resolve the charges or determine the outcome of the case.

The information publicly identified with the development does not state the man's name, the names of the victims, the date of the homicides, the specific charges or the circumstances described in the case. Those details are important to understanding the allegations but are not included here.

Court process

The case remains a matter for the court. Future filings, hearings and other court actions will establish the next steps in the proceeding.

The indictment concerns a double homicide case in Pickens County. Any person charged in the case is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
