Can you be indicted if there is no evidence against you? |
[Edit] |
Answer
If there is not evidence to support the charges then it is unlikely the prosecutor would pursue the matter until the time such evidence is obtained.
Questionable cases are usually heard by a grand jury to determine whether or not there are sufficient grounds to prosecute the individual(s).
Grand juries review all the facts of a case and hear witnesse testimony.
Answer
One should be aware of the distinction between a lack of physical evidence and a lack of ANY evidence. Circumstantial evidence may still exist which might be sufficient for a prosecutor to pursue a conviction.
