Re: No Indictment in Chokehold Death
Right. I would assume that grand juries begin at the level of felonies. So if the Prosecutor believes he may charge someone with a felony he presents the evidence he has to a Grand Jury. Do you agree?
Few is a relative term. We have tens of thousands of laws now whose violation is a felony. We did not use to. I would not be surprised if it is a felony these days fill in a low spot in your yard because a mud puddle forms there when it rains.
I don't know how the grand jury system works. And don't have the ambition to look into it. But I can absolutely assure you that not every prosecution requires a grand jury. As a matter of fact, if you remember Zimmerman, the DA was heartily criticized because she elected NOT to convene a grand jury.
Okay, here ya' go:
IOW, not every prosecution (in fact, few of them) require a grand jury.
