A grand jury helps determine whether to bring charges against a suspect, while trial jurors render a verdict at the trial itself. Put differently, a grand jury hands down an indictment at the beginning of a criminal case. A trial jury decides guilt or innocence at the end of the trial.

In its charging capacity, a grand jury makes the initial determination about whether there is enough evidence to constitute probable cause that a crime has been committed and to charge a person or organization with that crime. A grand jury does not determine guilt or innocence.
