No they aren’t. They tried to charge the sandwich guy with a felony and the grand jury refused to do it so they had to downgrade the charge to a misdemeanor.
Nowhere did I see it said on my sources on grand juries but I looked up the Wikipedia for the DC Sandwich Guy case and: “U.S. law typically gives the Justice Department 30 days to secure an indictment after an arrest.”
