In NY, as most states, a grand jury is convened solely to allow the DA to get an indictment. He runs the show and there is nothing from the opposing side. Accordingly, with the deck stacked in his favor, the statement "you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich" is apropos.
If it was perfectly clear that there was no crime committed, he would not have convened a grand jury.
Apparently, your ignorance of Texas law is equal to my own, and yet you live there.
