Learn the rarely used but highly effective criminal defense tactic of preparing a grand jury packet to present to the grand jury to have your charges lowered or thrown out by a No Bill. Don't let the Government take advantage of you! Has your case already been indicted? What is a Grand Jury Packet? This video answers all your questions!
If you are charged with a felony in Texas, it is important to understand the grand jury system. In Texas, every felony must be indicted by the grand jury.
The Grand Jury meet at the downtown Fort Worth courthouse on 90-day terms to determine if probable cause was present to justify the arrest for every felony case in Tarrant County, Texas. The grand jury listens to evidence and they have 3 choices:
1. Keep the current felony charges at the same level of felony,
2. Lower the charge to a lesser charge, like a misdemeanor offense
3. No Bill - the equivalent of a dismissal
The sad thing is that many people don’t realize their felony case is even being presented to the grand jury. Most criminal lawyers don’t take advantage of this process and get involved to try to affect the outcome of the case quickly. It’s a shame because this rarely used criminal defense tactic can get a case dismissed quickly:
The Grand Jury No Bill: for example, we had a client where we found some factual evidence that tended to show that our client was innocent of the charges. Because we at the Hampton Law Firm use this approach for all of our felony case clients, we can present this evidence to a panel of citizens in Tarrant County.
In the case of our client, we located information that tended to show the search was illegal and the police were unable to affirmatively link our to the illegal items found in the vehicle, he was a passenger in. As a result, we were able to play a role in the Grand Jury deciding to No Bill the case.
A No Bill is the equivalent of a dismissal and allows the case to be resolved quickly. As a result, our client would be eligible for an expunction upon completion of the statute of limitations.
