PENDINGUnknown

What does this charge mean?

This statute does not define a criminal offense—instead, it is a procedural rule requiring prosecutors to write down the names of all witnesses they plan to call to testify at trial on each formal charge document (indictment or presentment) and sign their name to it. This is a procedural/administrative statute, not a criminal law.
