I've ran some searches, since you mentioned a grand jury, but all I found was this:

Grand jury to decide FBI agent indictment  6/18/02 The Capital, Annapolis: Beyond the reach of the law - "Agent Braga, however, is not expected to testify. He declined to talk to county detectives who investigated the shooting."

Did this grand jury ever actually sit and hear the evidence?

Absent a legitimate and independent review of the evidence by a grand jury, then your statement that "...no indictment......no crime" is not really very meaningful.

As a minimum, a common citizen in similar circumstances would have been charged with felony negligent discharge of a firearm.

So where is the story about a grand jury? When did this happen and who was the prosecutor who presented the bill of indictment?

Weathersbee will begin presenting the case to a grand jury Tuesday, authorities confirmed yesterday.By asking for the grand jury to meet, prosecutors avoid some of the controversy that would surround a
