Was reading the case of Tracy Roberson and it said:
THE FATE OF TRACY...
On Wednesday (March 28th) a jury decided not to indict 28 year-old Darrell Roberson on charges of murder. However, the following day the Tarrant County grand jury presented an indictment of Tracy Roberson. As a result, the 35 year-old woman is being charged with manslaughter, and with making a false report to police (by stating that she was raped.) The manslaughter charge is due to the fact that she recklessly caused Devin LaSalle's death by claiming she was raped.
My question, what is the difference in legal terms between a regular jury and a grand jury?
Thanks.
