An indictment, when found by the grand jury, must be presented by their foreman, in their presence, to the court, and must be filed with the clerk, and remain in the clerk's office as a public record. Upon the request of the grand jury's legal advisor, the presiding judge of the grand jury may order the indictment sealed until the defendant is arrested.
