The old saying in Pennsylvania was that the DA could get the Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich.

THIS CREEP IS UP FOR ELECTION IN TWO WEEKS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE REQUIRED FOR A GRAND JURY. LOWEST LEVEL OF PROOF. BOY.

We have the same saying here in NC! And it's true.

The saying in general is that any DA could indict a ham sandwich. Grand juries were supposed to be for the protection of the accused, but have devolved into simple prosecutorial tools.

I was on a grand jury a few years ago. I think out of all the cases we did that month, including DWI's, there was only one case that we didn't let go to trial. So yes, it's easy to get indictments IMHO. You're only hearing one side.
