(E&W criminal) court's finding of a case to answer in law Explanation: Might not work in US criminal law where a Grand Jury decides on the charges or indictment and whether to 'arraign' the accused. (I can't remember a single TV episode of Perry Mason where the mechanics of this process had been explained)- The singular form of 'charge' led me on to a case to answer though, in ENG law, a submission of *no* case to answer is made by the defence/se at the end of the prosecution's case put.
