If a grand jury is not summoned, the judge will review the evidence and make a ruling (in the grand jury's place).
The judge can either:
- Allow the formal charges to stand, which means the defendant will stand trial.
- Or, the judge can dismiss the case.

What would happen if majority influence occurred within a jury?
This is a theoretical question. While it is possible, it is usually unlikely, that a jury will go into deliberation all believing the same thing. If the majority can persuade the minority of their reasoning then the jury will become unanimous in their verdict. This is the reason that, when juries deliver their verdict, it is quite common for the losing side's attorneys to "poll" the jury and ask each individual juror if this was "their" verdict. It is naive to believe that ALL deliberations among a group of diverse individuals on ANY subject would be conducted without debate and compromise. In a case requiring a unanimous verdict, if any juror(s) is/are convinced of the 'rightness' of their opinion they can hold out and the jury would then be "hung."
