> just as likely
If you look at the success rate of prosecutors getting grand juries to indict, it's certainly not "just as likely".

that sounds exactly like "a jury of peers is standing up for individuals against corporate/government overreach"
I don’t know it for a fact but the prosecutors apparently had video evidence and sales receipts. I was definitely projecting my own feelings on the grand jury response.
