Duty of court where no offense charged
Official statutory text
If the jury be discharged because the facts as charged do not
constitute an offense punishable by law, the court must order that
the defendant, if in custody, be discharged therefrom, or, if
admitted to bail, that the bail be exonerated, or if he have
deposited money instead of bail, that the money deposited be
refunded to him unless in its opinion a new indictment or
information can be framed, upon which the defendant can be legally
convicted, in which case it may direct that the case be resubmitted
to the same or another grand jury, or a new information filed.
