Evidence is presented only by the prosecution. There is no defense. Jurors only have to reach a "preponderance of the evidence" level of determination, which is far, far less than "beyond a reasonable doubt".
I served on a fed grand jury for a year hearing dozens of cases. Every single one ended in a plurality in agreement to indict. If they present, it's almost a foregone conclusion that there will be an indictment.
New York times picking this up..not much more info
The Justice Department’s rejection of the defense’s recent appeal would usually suggest that an indictment was forthcoming. But a grand jury hearing evidence that was recalled on Thursday after months of inactivity left for the day without any sign of an indictment, The Washington Post reported. And as of midday Friday, none had emerged.
Thank you for the clarification and your civic service. Any chance that things have changed due to politics?
