Your making my head hurt.
It is the responsibility of the grand jury
to weigh the evidence presented to it in
order to determine whether this
evidence, usually without any
explanation being offered by the
accused, persuades it that there is
probable cause to believe that a crime
has been committed and that the
accused was the person who committed
it. Remember that the grand jury is not
responsible for determining whether the
accused is guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt, but only whether there is
sufficient evidence of probable cause to
justify bringing the accused to trial.
Only the evidence presented to the
grand jury in the grand jury room may
be considered in determining whether
to vote an indictment.
