You don't know that Hunter asked them to indict. No report was issued. A Grand Jury is not convened for the sole purpose of issuing an indictment. If he had asked for an indictment and not gotten one, it would result in a "no-bill" and a report would be issued. The report might be sealed, but there would be evidence that a report was issued. No report was issued.
The GJ is convened in the public interest to determine, first of all, whether a crime has been committed. If a GJ investigation found that the death of JonBenet was caused by a 9-almost-10-year-old, there would be no indictment issued, as a person that age in CO in 1996 could not be charged with a crime; therefore, no crime would have been committed.
If a GJ investigation cannot determine who might be responsible for the child's death, i.e., there is not enough probable cause to indict one person or there is enough probable cause to indict two or more people, it is up to the prosecutor who convened the special GJ to guide them in the legalities.
At that point, a prosecutor is looking only at whether or not the case is prosecutable. Hunter's discretion entered into it at that point. From his POV, there was enough reasonable doubt at that point in time, to make any case charged an exercise in futility, because of the possibility of double jeopardy in the future. Do you charge someone now and risk letting a killer go free *forever* or do you wait and develop further evidence before charging and taking it to trial?
We don't know how he instructed the GJ, as no report was issued.
