Fam, is it good when a federal judge invents an entirely new rule just for you? Not really!
James Boasberg, the chief judge of the federal district courts in Washington, has ordered that judges in his district be notified every time a grand jury declines to indict—or no-bill—a case brought by the laughably bad U.S. Attorney for Washington Jeanine Pirro.
Fam, is it good when your office has had more no-bills in one year than most offices get … ever? Nope!
Boasberg’s rule applies whenever Pirro’s office tries to indict someone via grand jury and fails, so her office has to tell the magistrate judge on duty—even if she ultimately decides not to charge the defendant at all.
