[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3178866, member: 13624"] Possibly, but that'll be up to the DA. Grand juries don't make tactical decisions like "charge high and negotiate down;" they just weigh the evidence presented and decide whether it is sufficient to bring charges. If the GJ decided on murder, that means they think there's enough to make murder stick, [I]and[/I] the prosecutor decided to actually push the case (he could easily have put on a weak case if he wanted to). Granted, a good prosecutor could get a GJ to indict a ham sandwich, but I suspect there's a real case here. [/QUOTE]
