How do you get dismissed from a grand jury?
I think you would have to go before a judge and state your case why you should be dismissed. I was asked to be on my local grand jury and had an interview with a judge before hand and I know you sign on for 2 years to be on the jury. I don't think they will let you off with a flimsy excuse.

What does it mean when someone is facing an indictment?
TO accuse them of a crime in a court of lawAnother View: An indictment is a formal accusation of a felony, issued by a grand jury based upon a proposed charge, witnesses' testimony and other evidence presented by the prosecutor. It is the grand jury's determination that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial.
Comnwlth of Ky If you have a prelim hearing for a felony charge then make bond can you still be indicted LATER by the Grand Jury ie re-arrested if out on bond?
== == Well first off Virginia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are the only Commonwealths in the United States. If you are on bond that just means you don't have to wait in jail for the trail to begin. A preliminary hearing has nothing to do with the Grand Jury. A preliminary hearing is a criminal hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute an accused person. A grand jury serves or may serve only two distinct functions. First is a screening function where the grand jury evaluates evidence supporting possible charges and returns an indictment, if evidences suffices to it. A grand jury only has to find a preponderance of evidence, not like a traditional jury that has to find beyond a reasonable doubt. The other function of a grand jury is to develop information that is of value in determining whether grounds for a charge exist. Essential the same function except one they return an indictment basically saying there is enough evidence against you to go to trail. An indictment does not mean you will be brought to trail or arrested, that is up to the prosecutor. An indictment means there is a formal written accusation of a crime. So a preliminary hearing is usually just to let you know that you will be going to trail. If the judge revoks your bond or you get arrested again or you appear to be a flight risk you can be "re arrested". But as for now your on bond because you promised to appear back at court for your trail date. Everyone has a right to ASK to go before the Grand Jury regarding their own case, but the Grand Jury has the final decision on whether they will hear you or not. That is true for everyone, even if you are incarcerated. You must make a written request to appear and give it to the Commonwealth Attorney who presents it to the Grand Jury. WRONG! Kentucky is indeed title "Commonwealth." I'm an attorney in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I can tell you that if you don't know what you are talking about you probably shouldn't comment on Kentucky law.
Does no bill mean case is dismissed?
"No Bill" typically means the grand jury refused to indict a suspect for a felony charge. I don't know if the district attorney, or federal prosecutor can continue to grand jury shop the indictment or not after this. A competent attorney in your area could tell you for certain what the likely outcome is of the return of a "no bill".
They have 60 days to endite him if they cant prove it do they have to let him go?
There is a different standard of proof in seeking an indictment than that which prevails in criminal trials. At trial, the prosecution must prove all elements of the crime "beyond a reasonable doubt". To obtain an indictment the prosecution must merely prove that "more likely than not" a crime was committed, and "more likely than not" the defendant did it. The defendant gets no right be heard before the Grand Jury, no right to even know if or when they are considering indicting him. The prosecutor runs the show and the Grand Jury hears only what he wants them to hear in considering whether to issue an indictment. If they really want to the prosecutors can get anyone indicted for anything.

The time it takes to be indicted in WV purely depends on the time it takes for the investigation to be completed or if a jury finds sufficient cause to procede with an indictment against a person.
