A judge was supposed to make a ruling as to whether or not the two boys would be required to testify before the grand jury. I haven't heard any reports that there's been a ruling yet. The grand jury may be waiting for a ruling from that judge.
Also, I think there's a good reason to delay handing down any indictments. The state legislature passed the hearsay bill, and then it was amended with a clause that it pertains only to first degree murder cases. Now, it's got to go before both the state senate and assembly again for final approval and the governor's signature. Supposedly it's to be passed and signed before the end of June - at least that what I last heard.
So, the grand jury may be waiting for the hearsay bill to be law before it hands down indictments. It will still be up to the judge what can be admissible and what can't, but there's a good chance some evidence that now falls under hearsay, will be allowed. Kathleen Savios letters to authorities in which she described the abuse of DP and her fear that he would kill her, would likely be allowed.
As soon as we hear of the hearsay legislation being signed by the governor and becoming law, l expect the indictments to follow soon after.
I think it's likely that there will be an indictment for the murder of Kathleen Savio and one for the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.
