I'm just a 1L but I always thought it was CREDIBLE evidence.

I also thought there were people on SCOTUS who had made political contributions in the past.

As far as grand juries go . . I have heard it said that a prosecutor can get an indictment on a ham sandwhich if he wants to . .

Meaning that an indictment is not a real good test of whether the person is guilty or not.

I personally hope the guy's innocent and makes this DA look like a jackass. However, I'm not going to go out on a limb without a shred of evidence to back me up. The guy has been indicted by a grand jury which tells me that there is a very good chance that the prosecution can at least make a case against him.

And will find out.

Hey, the ham sandwich may have been guilty as well. How will we ever know if we can't try it?

That's true, and Grand Juries don't convict people. They just indict them. One would hope that there is at least some evidence to cause them to do that.
