“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. General belief is that at a Grand Jury decision is the final determination of the case.

However, with a grand jury indictment, the prosecutor can skip that step and proceed directly to trial.
