The Commonwealth brought the charge under Virginia Code § 18.2-250.

Indictments Are Not Convictions

The 17 indictments were returned as true bills by the Warren County grand jury on October 13. A true bill means the grand jury found sufficient evidence to formally charge the accused and allow the case to proceed through the court system.

An indictment does not establish guilt. The charges represent allegations that must be proven in court.

The documents do not identify upcoming court dates, plea arrangements, or trial schedules.

All individuals named in the indictments are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
