If the grand jury decides there is insufficient evidence that the accused person probably committed the crime, what will be presented?

• A. Complaint
• B. No bill
• C. Indictment
• D. True bill

Answer: (B)

In a grand jury proceeding, the panel decides whether there is probable cause to charge the person. If there is enough evidence, it returns a true bill, producing an indictment. If there isn’t enough evidence, it returns a no bill, meaning no formal charge will be filed at this time. Remember, a no bill does not prove innocence; it simply means the evidence presented didn’t amount to probable cause for charging.
