If a grand jury indicts, you are indicted. There are basically no rules on that.

Although the Constitution doesn't explicitly require that indictments be backed by oath or affirmation (as is required for search warrants), I see no reason why grand juries shouldn't require it. Though of course, courts have routinely ignored the "oath or affirmation" requirement for warrants anyway.
