They did indict a ham sandwich
Washington Monthly, June, 2005 by Charles Peters
I had known about the tendency of grand juries to follow the dictates of prosecutors instead of concerning themselves, as they are supposed to do, with protecting the unjustly accused. Still, I was stunned by a statistic presented by Bogira. From 2000 through 2003, Cook County grand juries "approved 1,706 indictments for every indictment they rejected."
