The standard for the grand jury is basically: if law enforcement is telling the truth, and taking that truth in the light most favorable to the state, is it likely that a crime was committed and that these defendants committed this crime. The standard rules of evidence do not apply. Grand juries indict about 99.5% of the cases brought before them.
The standard is obviously much higher in a trial.
I'm new to posting here, so some of my comments are in the quote. Sorry
Thank you! BBM - that is a really high percentage!
