If i was the accused. is my chances better if i have a grand jury or just a jury?
A grand jury is usually only used in a closed hearing. If the hearing is open to the public, chances are you will have a regular jury. The chances of you being indicted depends completely upon the crime committed, the ability of your lawyer and the defendant's lawyer, and the people on the jury. If you are looking for someone to tell you it'll be okay, that can't be provided with the information you gave, and if you committed a crime, chances are you will be indicted. Everyone is somewhat biased in one way or another, therefore a jury is never completely neutral. Good luck. *i have no legal experience, though i am attending law school*
