What does it mean when they say it was bound over to the grand jury and they got no indictment so it was bound over again?

They simply didn't get to your case, give them time...if the DA wants it indicted, it probably will be.

A case is only "Bound Over" once. That's the term used to indicate that the case has left General Sessions Court and has been set for Grand Jury review for them to determine whether they will issue an Indictment for you. Once the D.A. presents the case to the Grand Jury and an Indictment is returned against you your case will be in Curcuit Court. It's important to understand that the Grand Jury can indict you on more charges than you originally had in General Sessions Court if te D.A. presents additional proof.

Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Crain are both correct. Also, it is important to understand that the DA decides when to "present" your case, i.e. present the evidence, witness(es), and facts, to the Grand Jury. Normally the Grand Jury for a particular county meets once a month, once every other month, or at some other interval. The specific cases which the DA chooses to "present" for consideration by the Grand Jury are up to the DA's discretion. Sometimes a case may not be presented because the DA or police are still investigating the case and are trying to obtain additional evidence. Sometimes the DA is simply busy with other cases, as Mr. Ferguson suggests, and does not get around to preparing your particular case for the particular Grand Jury session. In any event, you should be sure to keep in contact with your attorney so you know when/if you have been indicted and when you need to appear in court.

When I was a prosecutor, cases sometimes would take 6 months to indict. During this time, the DA and other law enforcement agents work on building the case and making sure they have you correctly charged. This could also mean more charges are on the way. Often, once the DA has more time to look over a case, he/she may add charges they deem appropriate. Good Luck!
