Presentación y validez de acusaciones en el tribunal

Explicación Simple

Cuando se encuentra una acusación, se presenta al tribunal de inmediato. Si se pierde el documento original, aún se puede continuar con el caso usando una copia que se guarda en la oficina del tribunal.

Es como si tuvieras una receta de cocina importante. Si la pierdes, pero tienes una foto de la receta, puedes seguir cocinando sin problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan es acusado de un delito, y el jurado presenta la acusación al juez. Si, por alguna razón, la hoja con la acusación se pierde, el caso de Juan puede seguir adelante utilizando la copia que está registrada en la oficina del tribunal.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

When an indictment is found, it shall be immediately presented by the foreperson, in the presence of the grand jury, to the court, filed with the court administrator, recorded in a book kept for that purpose as soon as the arraignment shall have been made, and remain in the court administrator's office as a public record. The court administrator shall certify at the bottom of the record that the court administrator has compared the same with the original, and that it is a true copy thereof. Such record shall have all the force and effect of the original indictment, and, in case the indictment should be lost, mislaid, or for any reason not be before the court, any proceeding may be had upon such record in the same manner and with the same effect as if the original was before the court, and in such case no trial, conviction, or sentence shall be invalid by reason of the fact that the original indictment has disappeared from the files of the court after the recording thereof.
