What is the difference in a no-bill and a true bill? I don't think I ever heard of a "true bill".dlh wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 6:06 pm It is my understanding they had the A.G.'s office present the case to the grand jury due to local conflicts.
I wonder if the A.G. recommended a no bill, true bill, or simply presented the case with no recommendation?
A true bill means the defendant is indicted and will proceed to trial. A no bill simply means no indictment at this time.03Lightningrocks wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 6:12 pmWhat is the difference in a no-bill and a true bill?

I am not connected to this law firm but you can read more about it here:

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.03Lightningrocks wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 5:46 pmHe 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.AndyC1911 wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 4:50 pmHe should buy a lottery ticket.threoh8 wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 4:02 pm Just posting an update.
