The following indictments were returned by the Grand Jury of the Carter Circuit Court on June 9, 2023. An indictment is not a determination of guilt or innocence.

All defendants have the presumption of innocence until found guilty in a court of law.
Though it is a part of the public record, the Carter County Times does not make a habit of printing the names of minor children or the victims of alleged crimes, except under exceptional circumstances.
