Commonwealth of Virginia v. Austin Curtis Peterson - JA010478-02-00 Assault and Battery on Family Member & GC24002688-00 DRUGS: POSSESS SCH I OR II

Can you explain this to us laymen? I don't quite get it.

They did not have a grand jury of 7-12 citizens sitting in public court and hearing evidence, however a "True bill of indictment" was handed down, meaning he he officially indicted on a felony and the court case may proceed to arraignment.
 
Court record updates with results from the grand jury/indictment hearing on 1/13/2025 showing results as being a "True Bill" of indictment. Arraignment hearing set for 2/3/2025

Same for the Felony Probation Violation which is piggy backing this case. I suspect once found or plead guilty to the drug possession, determination of this violation will occur. Some courts may violate you even if you plea out of these types of charges.

Next hearing is Friday, January 17th in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for adjudication of probation violation for the first domestic violence. As a reminder Austin already plead guilty to this charge and was placed on community based probation as part of a first offender program, where if he successfully completed the 2 year program, would have the charges removed from his record. If found guilty of violating this probation/program, he faces either additional probation time, more intensive education, or more likely termination from the program and sentencing for the original charge where he will forever have a violent crime on his record.

This charge is interesting as it should also violate his felony probation, but as its in a "deferred disposition" status due to the probation/first offender program it likely hasnt triggered. If removed from the program and sentenced, he may find another charge for felony probation violation for the conviction resulting in his 2014 crime spree.

The courtroom painted the same icey blue of his eyes. Coincidence?

Rusty left his family to command his unit overseas for a year in Operation Enduring Freedom and a served a year in Operation Iraqi Freedom. While in Iraq Rusty, served as the coalition liaison to the Independent Election Commission of Iraq where he helped Iraq plan and execute free, fair and secure democratic elections.

In 1988, Rusty E. McGuire dropped out of high school and joined the Virginia Army National Guard. Instead of becoming a statistic the military provided him drive and motivation to set a path for success.


Eight years later he earned a degree from the Virginia Military Institute and commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Infantry. He earned his J.D. from the Thomas Cooley Law School and started his career as a prosecutor in the in the City of Richmond.

I suspect his company may have had some isolated incidents where some dudes earned their CIB but he wasn't there due to being a liaison. He wouldn't be the only fag out there who believes they "deserve" it so wears it out of uniform. Definitely a character flaw if so.

Turns out he's a midget so it's on brand.

Bossman will whup his ass.

Edit: Holy Shit! Glenn Younkin is "only" 6'2" so Rusty is barely breaking 5'!
Edit Edit: Younkin's height is questionable. Somewhere between 6'2" and 6'7". Still...

I don't know how they do it in Virginia but I was on a Grand Jury in a rural county years ago in another state.
For 6 months we met in a conference room at the courthouse every Monday.
The DA would present evidence and the defense was allowed to as well but they never did, then we would vote if there was enough evidence to indict.

I suspect this is what happened to Bossman. The Grand Jury met.. heard the evidence and indicted him.

I believe you to be correct, and the 2pm hearing I sat in just told him the result, and set the arraignment date.

I feel like they are cucking me out of hearing the actual details of the case in open court. Those son of a bitches.

Or he waived it.

"Despite the lack of comprehensive state data, statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics on federal prosecutions indicate that a grand jury declining to return an indictment is a rare event. Grand juries declined to indict in 11 out of 162,351 federal cases in 2010."

They're usually pointless. The defense rarely puts on evidence anyway. It's much like a preliminary hearing. Even if the defense bothers showing up and offering evidence, it's almost never going to result in a no bill. Why waste time and money on it?

If they did have one (I think a waiver would show up on the docket), it was probably just the prosecution and if the defense showed at all, it was just to scope out the prosecution's case, or however much of the prosecution's case they were willing to show.
