A grand jury indictment is a charge issued by a grand jury in a criminal case. Typically, the jury determines whether enough evidence exists to formally charge the suspect with a criminal crime. Grand jury indictments are not dismissed by the court but in a formal hearing, a defense team can argue against any bias.
