It's been an interesting experience. Every week there are 3-4 cases on average that don't rise to the level of probable cause that we end up throwing out. I like the way Texas does this. Most states don't use a grand jury or only use it pretty sparingly. Seeing firsthand how it works makes me feel like it does what it's supposed to.
