TX: Lubbock potential self defense death occurs

[dlh]

It is my understanding they had the A.G.'s office present the case to the grand jury due to local conflicts.
I wonder if the A.G. recommended a no bill, true bill, or simply presented the case with no recommendation?

What is the difference in a no-bill and a true bill? I don't think I ever heard of a "true bill".

A true bill means the defendant is indicted and will proceed to trial. A no bill simply means no indictment at this time.

Just posting an update. The Grand Jury no-billed him.

No charges for Kyle Carruth in Chad Read Shooting

He should buy a lottery ticket.

He may also want to buy a rabbits foot. No-Billed does not mean innocent. They could decide to bring it back to grand jury at a later date. I am not saying they will, but it is not the same as being called innocent in a trial. I lived under the fog of a No-Bill for several years. Mine was no billed as self defense but my attorney told me to try and not get involved in a similar use of deadly force for awhile that they could always bring it back to the grand jury. Maybe he was wrong? I never questioned it.

Cases can be presented to a grand jury multiple times, including different grand juries. In my view, this is wrong and should not be the case except with extremely rare fact-patterns.
