Document 1 - The indictment. PDF - 9 Apr 09
An Indictment is merely an accusation and no evidence of guilt.  The United States must prove and establish by credible admissible evidence that the acts charged by the grand jury in the indictment are true beyond a reasonable doubt.  The grand jury, a secret deliberative body under the control of the prosecutor, is not required and does not make such a finding -- it only brings charges based to large extent on summary hearsay evidence presented by the prosecutor.

Note on plea agreements:  Current policy in the Western District of Missouri is to file a separate non-public addendum with the court in cases where a defendant is a cooperating individual eligible for a possible rule 35 and/or 5K1.1 departure of the sentence. The plea agreement on file with PACER viewable here usually does not indicate one way or the other whether such an agreement is in place and may not therefore represent the full scope of the agreement between the government and the defendant in any particular case.
