No charges for Kyle Carruth in Chad Read Shooting
He should buy a lottery ticket.
He may also want to buy a rabbits foot. No-Billed does not mean innocent. They could decide to bring it back to grand jury at a later date. I am not saying they will, but it is not the same as being called innocent in a trial. I lived under the fog of a No-Bill for several years. Mine was no billed as self defense but my attorney told me to try and not get involved in a similar use of deadly force for awhile that they could always bring it back to the grand jury. Maybe he was wrong? I never questioned it.
Cases can be presented to a grand jury multiple times, including different grand juries. In my view, this is wrong and should not be the case except with extremely rare fact-patterns.
