COURT REPORTS

Drug possession and theft were among the crimes several Wharton County residents will have to defend against following October grand jury deliberations.

And while a grand jury indictment is not an indication of guilt, it is a citizen jury verdict that a prosecutor has enough evidence against a person to proceed with felony charges.
