Re: Grand Jury No Bill,
It is highly unlikely that the PD, the DA or the Grand Jury would reconsider the charges and present them again. If the case is high-profile, and additional evidence can be located, particularly that supports a different charge, then maybe. Double-jeopardy protections do not apply in this circumstance, as it attaches primarily after a regular jury is seated in a case.
