WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors twice sought a grand jury indictment against a D.C. woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE inmate transfer — and were twice rejected, the U.S. Attorney’s Office admitted in court Thursday.

Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey revealed the denials to attorneys for Sydney Lori Reid and later granted their request to remove all bond conditions and release her on her own recognizance over prosecutors’ objections. He will resume a preliminary hearing on Friday afternoon to determine whether to dismiss the case entirely.

“Two presentations to the grand jury returned no bill both times,” Harvey said. “Suggesting the evidence is wanting, given the standard for indictment is probable cause. Suggesting the government may never get an indictment.”

Grand juries are tasked with deciding only whether there is a reasonable basis to support charging someone with a crime – a much lower burden for prosecutors than the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard of criminal juries – and typically make their decisions after hearing evidence only from the government. At the federal level, grand juries return indictments, or “true bills,” in the vast majority of cases.

Reid, 44, was charged last month with an enhanced felony version of an assault charge that requires inflicting bodily injury on a federal officer and carries a maximum sentence of up to eight years in prison. The charge is the same offense filed this week against a former DOJ employee accused of throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent.

Piro is so bad at her job that she cannot indict a ham sandwich. It will be fun to see is she brings Sean Dunn to a grand jury for a real sandwich indictment

1. As I understand it, it's hard to NOT get in indictment

They failed twice?


There’s no defense or cross. I don’t think the defendant is even there. The only things the grand jury sees is what the government authority wants them to see.

Michael Brown being killed by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri was probably where I first became aware of how slanted it is. That was 11 years ago?

2. Joyce Vance-It's extremely rare for a grand jury to decline to indictment.

3. The Subway guy

That was a stupid thing for him to do AND from what I’ve seen the response was massively overstated.

Those thugs were itchy for a fight …a fight they knew they couldn’t lose. Assholes.

4. Piro tried three times to get felony indictment against a protester and had to reduce charges to misdemeanor

This makes me smile

Piro and Bondi want felony indictments against protestors. Grand juries have been refusing to return felony indictments. These idiots cannot indict a ham sandwich on a felony charge and instead have to rely on a misdemeanor charge.
