MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County Grand Jury recently released its findings in multiple cases that involved violent crimes, sexual abuse, child abuse and other miscellaneous cases.
An indictment is a decision by the Colquitt County Grand Jury that the prosecution has enough evidence to take the case to the Superior Court. An accusation is a similar decision by the District Attorney’s Office that is available in cases that meet certain criteria.
