Everyone is saying all kinds of stuff - the florida bar, which I stated before says that when a person has been arrested the grand jury will normally take a few days - IF the person has not been charged it can take longer
I'm sure NG will clear the air for all with lawyers there
Not long. You want mayo, or mustard?
I'm bringing this over from the Yuri support thread. Don't think Blink will mind. And she's right...it is a two tissue minimum. I thought maybe not everyone reads the Yuri thread (why would be beyond me) but this is definitely worth watching, especially now with the grand jury convening. This will help us all remember why, in case anyone forgot.

Warning, it will break your heart, again. Between the photo of Yuri standing in the backyard amongst the evidence tags, and the close up of my man-saint, Tim Miller, it is a 2 tissue minimum.
But watch it anyway, it is dedication personafied to Yuri, Tim Miller and TES, and everyone with them and on here searching for answers for Caylee.

Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I don't think there is a court TV anymore. I believe it is now called TruTv or something like that.

I have a really stupid newbie question
Will the GJ know this is the KC case or do they just get the evidence without a person attached to it?
Hope I asked that right..
Florida has that unusual lesser included offenses rule and she is charged with 3rd degree felony child neglect -- which elements may also be the lesser included elements for 1st degree murder of a child under the age of 12 due to aggravated child neglect. So, the time would run from the date she was arrested on the lesser included offense -- July 16, 2008 -- plus 175 days. Don't count the first day and do count the last day unless the last day falls on a Sunday or court holiday and then you go to the next court business day.No, the defendent was taken into custody for ANOTHER charge, the grand jury can change that charge - the date will change when she is indicted, arrested and jailed for the new offense - LE might forgo the neglect charge for the homicide charge
Casey has not been arrested on murder charges so it likely take longer.
Like others I have long suspected the same, still it is very terrible to hear. In my opinion they have far more evidence in support of this than we are aware of.

They can either give a true bill or a no true bill. They can basically say there is not enough evidence and convene one later when there is.

Grand juries operate in two different ways, depending on the jurisdiction and type of case. Where the defendant already has been arrested on a preliminary charging document such as a complaint, and the time is short before the defendant must have a preliminary hearing or be released, the grand jury does little investigation. It merely listens to some brief testimony, usually hearsay from the arresting officer if the jurisdiction permits grand juries to rely on hearsay, as most do; rubber-stamps the prosecutor’s charging decision; and thus deprives your client of his or her statutory right to a preliminary hearing. With such charging grand juries, there is little you can do unless your client wants to take the risk of testifying.
I agree! I think a lot of people are looking at the Grand Jury as a sign LE might not have enough evidence to indict Casey for murder. I think/hope the GJ is an indicator Casey will be prosecuted for Murder 1. In Florida, Grand Juries HAVE to be called when someone is about to be prosecuted for a capital offense, or the person is a public official on a matter of public concern.
