GODDAMNIT RETARDS, PLEASE READ THIS:
A Grand Jury is *NOT* the jury you go before at trial. The defendant doesn't go before a grand jury. The *CHARGES* go before a grand jury and they decide whether or not to indict on a felony (the answer is always yes).
It just means they're gonna charge Chris with a felony. It doesn't mean it's going to trial. It doesn't even mean he's going to get convicted of a felony, it just means he's charged with one and they want to keep him in jail.
Chris probably either fucked up his plea agreement, or the agreement requires he be charged with a felony. Alternatively, Heilberg really was stalling the probable cause hearing.
We'll find out a lot more soon because he's going to Circuit Court, which is not kept secret like J&DR is.
It's probably the same charge, just allowed to be a felony now. Either Chris fucked up a deal, or the prosecutor will only accept a deal that involves a felony conviction.
Chris will be in jail at least until he is sentenced -- they can hold him for years now before trial if need be. It could be a week with a plea deal, it could be many months if it goes to trial.
