Indict = criminal charge.
Sue = civil claim.
And there is no such thing as a grand jury judge.

Okay, but I asked a judge about the difference and he said pretty much the same thing you did.
Suit is civil
Indictment is criminal
He basically said that an indictment is a suit of criminal intent of a crime. A grand jury is a panel where rights are thrown out. There must be a jury leader. Is this a judge?
