GRAND JURY

47.2.1 NOTE: Failure of the grand jury to return an indictment against a
defendant does not prevent any charge against such a defendant from being
submitted to another grand jury. RCr 5.22Grand Jury Report
The Grand Jury Report should be placed in a master file by date.
47.2.2 No True Bill
If a No True Bill is returned, place it in the folder with the Grand Jury Reports. You will close
the charge as NTB. If a bond was posted in the case you will need an order from the judge
to release the bond. Put a copy of the No True Bill in the district court file.
47.2.3 Transfer of District Court Files
When the list of cases referred to the Grand Jury is received from the commonwealth
attorney showing the disposition of cases referred to the Grand Jury, deliver a copy to
district court. The district court will transfer to circuit court the files for those defendants
indicted.
NOTE: If the disposition of a charge in a district court case is “GDJ” Grand Jury, do not
close the case screen until the grand jury has disposed of the charge.
47.2.4 Misdemeanor Indictment
An indictment returned by the Grand Jury for a misdemeanor, not joined with a felony
charged in the same indictment, shall be docketed in district court. RCr 5.20. DO NOT
OPEN THIS CASE IN CIRCUIT COURT.
• If the misdemeanor charge came from a district court case, file the indictment for
the misdemeanor in that case file.
• If no current case exists (the misdemeanor indictment results from a direct
submission) see District Criminal Cases for opening a case.
NOTE: The grand jury, commonwealth attorney, or district judge will give you direction
to issue a summons, bench warrant, and/or docket scheduling.
