Would someone PLEASE explain to me how anyone gets tried for a “capital or otherwise infamous crime” without an indictment from a Grand Jury? No one could answer me in the Zimmerman/Martin case. Could the 5th Amendment be any more clear?
Grand Juries are not mandatory. If you can find a reference otherwise, please educate us.
The State Attorney thinks there is obvious probable cause and no need for a grand jury. I agree. Charge them and charge them quickly because 1. The deserve to be charged. Then 2. It will defuse the situation. Which is legitimate so long as #1 is there.
