What is indictment by grand jury?
.... it is known as a 'True Bill of Indictment.' Indictment by a grand jury is the manner in which the government charges individuals with commission of a crime. The prosecutor presents proofs before the members of the Grand Jury to convince them that sufficient evidence exists to charge an individual with a crime. If the Grand Jury agrees that the individual should be so charged it issues a written statement making the charges. The statement is called an indictment.

What is the difference between a true bill and a no true bill?
At common law, and in many states, a grand jury can return charges in either of two ways. One is to vote on a set of charges submitted by a prosecutor; these charges are contained in a proposed indictment, and if the grand jurors decide there is probable cause to support the charges, they vote a "true bill," that is, they vote to return the indictment and initiate a criminal proceeding. If the grand jurors decide there is not probable cause to support the charges, or that the charges should not be pursued for other reasons, they vote a "no true bill," which means the indictment is not returned and no criminal case ensues.
What comes first a no true bill or a true bill?
Neither one comes before the other. The two are opposites of one another. A "true bill" is a valid indictment of a defendant voted on and handed down by a Grand Jury. A "no true bill" is exactly the opposite. The GJ heard the presentment and declined to indict, therefore making its finding of "no true bill" of indictment.
