Spanish term or phrase: queda ligado a proceso
Buenos días a todos:

En un diario guatemalteco encontré el siguiente titular.

*Acusado de descuartizar a su víctima queda ligado a proceso*

He estado tratando de traducir al inglés lo de "queda ligado a proceso" pero no estoy seguro. Aquí tienen mi intento:

Man accused of dismembering victim sent to trial

El subtítulo dice lo siguiente.

"El Juzgado Segundo de Instancia Penal ligó a proceso y dictó prisión preventiva a Juan Carlos, de 26 años, presunto descuartizador de un hombre, hecho que perpetró en el 2008 y lo mantuvo guardado por cuatro años."

Muchas gracias por su tiempo.

Explanation:
Creo que tu intento está bien. Es más; como te habrás dado cuenta empleé casi las mismas palabras en menor cantidad, de manera de imitar los "headlines" de los diarios. Espero que sea útil.
Saludos y suerte.

brought to trial


Explanation:
Not all that sure, but I think this is what is meant. The expression "ligar a proceso" seems rather regional...
