Jurisdiction to support alleged judgment
PENDINGUnknown
What does this charge mean?
When an indictment mentions a previous court judgment or court proceeding, prosecutors do not need to explain all the legal facts that gave the court authority to issue that judgment. They can simply state the judgment was "duly given," but they must prove those supporting facts at trial. This is a procedural shortcut with no criminal penalty.
