A true bill.
A grand jury is a group of citizens who review evidence presented by prosecutors to determine if there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against a person. The grand jury operates in secret and its proceedings are not open to the public. If the grand jury decides there is enough evidence, they will issue an indictment, which allows the case to proceed to trial.
First, a grand jury, as is the case of any other types of jury, is a jury assembled of people from the general public. This is what makes a jury public. Indict means for a grand jury to decide that there is enough evidence to bring an accused before the court to answer the charges.
evidence is like proof the police use to solve a crime or to get a suspect to talk
The District Attorneys office makes the decision whether or not there is enough evidence to go forward with charging someone with a crime.Added: The above question and answer addresses only formally "charging" the defendant in court, and is separate and apart from the question of establishing the Probable Causenecessary for a Grand Jury to hand down an indictment.
Of course, you can be arrested if there is enough circumstantial evidence, or if some other evidence makes you a likely suspect such as fingerprints or some of that CSI stuff like DNA, or anything else that links you to the crime.
At law, in a jury trial, the jury makes findings of factand the judge makes conclusions of law. In a bench trial, the judge makes both findings of fact and conclusions of law.To distinguish this type of jury from the grand jury, it is sometimes known as a petit jury. Also, less formally than the law French, it is known as a jury of one's peers.
Question makes very little sense. If you are "wrongfully accused" you defend yourself in court and MAKE the prosecution present enough evidence to prove that you did it. If you are convicted . . . the jury believed the evidence and not your story.

Questions of fact are usually resolved by a jury. Questions of law are usually resolved by a judge. So if the law is clear, but the evidence and facts need to be interpreted to determine an outcome, it is a jury question. If it is unclear what law applies, it is a question for a judge.
Sure. Just bring one in, dead or alive. Until you or someone else does this, or verifiably makes radio contact, you would not have enough evidence to constitute "proof".
