Here's another question. The Bill of Rights (5th amemdment) states:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand
jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in
the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public
danger."
Yet Scott Peterson was not indicted by a grand jury--he had only
an arraignment hearing--and it sounds like the same goes for Jacskon.
What gives?
