FYI, and just a small point: Grand juries hand up indictments, not hand down. Courts hand down rulings, verdicts, sentences, etc. In most grand jury rooms, the presiding judge in the open session after deliberations sits on an elevated bench to receive any true bills the grand jurors have returned. The foreman of the grand jury walk up in front of the bench and hands up the paperwork to the judge for formal presentment. He or she then passes it on to the clerk, if it's sealed, or to the sheriff to make arrests, and the grand jury's work for that day is done.
