If you go to the grand jury can you still drop the charges?
I don't believe the questioner understands the grand jury system. "You" never appear at a grand jury hearing - only the prosecutor who presents the facts of the case against you. If the grand jury finds probable cause that you committed the crime they will indict you. On the other hand - if they do not find that probable cause exists, they will "no bill" you and the charges will be dropped.
