“One need only look at the Duke Lacrosse Case and how the Grand Jury was presented with a limited and slanted view of evidence to make their decision.”

Grand juries are always presented with a limited and slanted view of evidence. That is the way the process works. Only the prosection presents evidence, since the purpose of the grand jury is to determine if there is sufficient evidence (not absolute proof of guilt) to warrant a charge being filed. The purpose is not to actually convict the defendent of the charge.
