It's good for the person the State is trying to charge with a crime! A "no bill" means the grand jury does not think there is probable cause to formally charge the person and send the matter to the court for a trial. A "true bill" is when the grand jury does approve of prosecuting that person for that crime. In Georgia, if a Grand Jury "no bills" a case, the DA has one more chance to re-indict it, but usually they will not. At least not for the same charges.
