A grand jury in Georgia decides whether there is enough evidence to formally charge someone with a crime, typically in cases of serious offenses. They review evidence presented by prosecutors and determine if probable cause exists for an indictment. Their role is to ensure that individuals are not subject to prosecution without sufficient evidence. If they find enough evidence, they issue an indictment; if not, they may dismiss the case.
The grand jury never decides guilt. The grand jury decides whether or not to indict, based on the sufficiency of evidence.

A petit jury in a criminal trial decides whether or not a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The other type of jury, the Grand Jury, decides whether or not there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against a defendant prior to the trial. It does not decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. Therefore the Grand Jury is not bound by the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
