The question I have is whether an indictment by a grand jury that did not hear any testimony or see any evidence can be thrown out.

Earle's office took the case back to a new grand jury that was impaneled at about noon Monday to reindict DeLay and add the money-laundering charges.

I have been told all of my life that the wheels of justice turn slowly. Apparently that is not always true. In fact, it would seem that a grand jury does not have to waste any time considering the evidence before returning an indictment.
