A Mississippi Waiver of Indictment is a legal document that allows a defendant to bypass the grand jury process and agree to be tried for their alleged crime without a grand jury indictment. This waiver is usually signed by the defendant in a criminal case after consulting with an attorney. There are two types of Mississippi Waiver of Indictment: a Waiver of Grand Jury Indictment and a Waiver of Presentment of Criminal Information. The Waiver of Grand Jury Indictment allows a defendant to enter a plea of guilty or solo contender without the need for a grand jury to formally indict the defendant. A Waiver of Presentment of Criminal Information allows a defendant to enter a plea of guilty or solo contender without a formal criminal charge being presented to the court. Both types of waivers are voluntary and must be signed by the defendant, the defendant's attorney, and the prosecuting attorney.
