Being indicted by a Federal Grand Jury does not necessarily mean he is
guilty of anything. At least not yet.
The grand jury exists as a sort of initial screening device in the federal
criminal justice system. Basically, the members of the grand jury, selected
from the public, are asked two questions. First, is there reason to believe,
based on the testimony given by the witnesses that a crime was committed?
Second, is there reason to believe, based on the testimony given that the
defendant (in this case Mr. Vick) is guilty. The prosecutor's burden of
proof is exceedingly low, which is much different than a criminal trial
where guilt must be shown beyond a reasonable doubt.
