Q: How do I handle a void indictment
My dad has been in prison since 1997. A few weeks ago he sent a letter to the district clerk office requesting his grand jury proceedings... He received a letter stating that there are no copies of his grand jury proceedings... What does this mean and what do I need to do?

A: There are usually no records of grand jury proceedings. There's nothing you can do about that.

A: I'm not sure what he was trying to get from the district clerk. But an indictment is a record of the grand jury proceeding in that is shows the result of the proceeding. What do you need to do? I'm not sure what the goal is. What is the trying to find out?

A: Why do you say that the indictment is void because the district clerk has no grand jury proceedings?
