Prosecutor will just refile. No double jeopardy in the grand jury.

I believe that there's typically not even a defense presentation in grand jury proceedings.

It's rare that I feel proud of my fellow Americans, but this is one of those times.

Not just not typically, that's the entire point of them.

A grand jury is basically a first test of "does the state's case pass muster in an absolutely perfect scenario?" so it's more or less a quick trial with relaxed guidelines that is massively leaned in favor of the state.

How does a 1000$ in damage warrant a felony charge? I would have assumed the charges to be vandalism and misdemeanor offense.

Theres usually a minimum limit to crimes, anything exceeding X amount is automatically a felony.

Speeding can be anything over 15mph is felony speeding.

Theft of a total value amount of $1000 is grand larceny.

Depends on local laws i think

Investigators, according to WKRC-TV in Cincinnati, identified Morelock after obtaining surveillance footage from other cameras near the scene as well as information linked to a credit card and a customer rewards account.

Was the rewards program worth saving $0.50 on your last purchase if they try to help put you in jail?

Beat me to it.

I don't have a rewards card. I'm a regular Superman, no rewards.
