Charges Against Taylor: Sit Tight, It's Not Over Yet

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Paulskinsfan,

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a pre-filing conference is used to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to file the charges against Sean? Grand juries are convened to decide whether the evidence warrants the filing of charges. So, it seems like a pre-filing conference is used IN LIEU of a grand jury. That's consistent with my understanding of when grand juries are used - namely, they aren't often used in cases involving "lesser" felony charges (i.e. aggravated assault). Rather, grand juries are used in murder cases, corruption trials, gambling/narcotics rings, etc.
