Why is My Case Going to the Grand Jury?
Okay, if a judge says, ‘I’m going to send your case to the grand jury,’ what does this mean? I visited court on the 27 /02 /2023 awaiting trial but I end up being subjected to many postponements. They have also been urging me to take a plea bargain as well also giving me technical assistance. In my last trial, the judge proposed a deal that did not include community service or anger management, but I refused since I do not wish to be guilty of an offense of disorderly conduct even if it is categorized as a minor crime. Now, after rejecting the offer, the judge has halted the case and have referred to the case being taken to the grand jury. So what am I going to do to help my case? Is this an effort to scare me into taking the plea?
