but got a great deal of heat and only then did he reopen the investigation. It won't matter what the GJ does if Bragg doesn't want to prosecute, settles for a soft plea deal or pursues with a weak effort in court. I believe he can also just dismiss the GJ without asking for an indictment. It's not Bragg's money he's spending. He may have gone through all of this just so he could cover himself by claiming he "did all he could".
