<h1>Definition of 'Accused' in Criminal Cases: Indictment, Information, or Arrest Triggers Speedy Trial Rights.</h1> Accused refers to the defendant in a criminal case. According to Black's Law Dictionary, a person is considered 'accused' for purposes of a speedy trial guarantee when a formal indictment or information is filed, or when they are subjected to restraints on liberty due to arrest, whichever occurs first. This definition aligns with legal interpretations such as in the case of State v. Almeida.
