“At common law,and in many states,a grand jury can return charges in either of two ways.One is to vote on a set of charges submitted by a prosecutor; these charges are contained in a proposed indictment,and if the grand jurors decide there is probable cause to support the charges,they vote a "true bill," that is,they vote to return the indictment and initiate a criminal proceeding.If the grand jurors decide there is not probable cause to support the charges,or that the charges should not be pursued for other reasons,they vote a "no true bill," which means the indictment is not returned and no criminal case ensues.”在这段话中,既然juror vote a"true bill",为什么还要“return the indictment ”呢?而一个“no true bill”为什么是indictment is not returned 案件不予受理,不是应该驳回起诉么?难道说起诉书不返还就表示法院不予受理么,反之,才是决定受理案件么?非常疑惑,在下感激不尽!
"indictment",在美国,该词指由大陪审团提出的刑事起诉书,区别于检察官提出的起诉书（information).通常在须以大陪审团起诉书起诉时,先由检察官向大陪审团提出申请公诉书（bill of indictment),如果大陪审团经过审查...原来是这个样子啊！不过我还有一点不懂，起诉书有公诉书有什么区别么？什么情况下还需要大陪审团出具刑事起诉书（只是指在检察官提出的公诉书上签字吗？）啊？在下不是法律专业的，麻烦指教了！
