“There are a few things to bear in mind about grand juries. They hear evidence only from the prosecution, not from the defense, and the standard for bringing an indictment is only probable cause, not preponderance of the evidence or proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s why it’s often said that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to ‘indict a ham sandwich’ — but not, it seems, Sandwich Man. Nor was this a lone example.” (08/28/25)
