Proceedings after motion for arrest of judgment sustained
Official statutory text
If, from the evidence on the trial, there is reasonable ground
to believe the defendant guilty, and a new indictment can be framed
upon which he may be convicted, the court may order him to be
recommitted to the officer of the proper county, or admitted to bail
anew to answer the new indictment or information. If the evidence
shows him guilty of another offense, he must be committed or held
thereon; but if no evidence appears sufficient to charge him with
any offense, he must, if in custody, be discharged, or, if admitted
to bail, his bail is exonerated, or if money has been deposited
instead of bail, it must be refunded to the defendant, and the
arrest of judgment operates as an acquittal of the charge upon which
the indictment or information was founded.
