Does a federal district court abuse its power to find that an indictment is not unfairly prejudicial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Stirling, 571 F.2d 708 (2nd Cir. 1978):
The purpose of an indictment is to state the charge against the accused. The accomplishment of that purpose is to some extent inherently prejudicial. On the facts before us, however, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by deciding that the indictment was not unfairly prejudicial. See United States v. Courtney, 257 F.2d 944, 947 (2d Cir. 1958), cert. denied, 358 U.S. 929, 79 S.Ct. 316, 3 L.Ed.2d 303 (1959).
