[quote=Anonymous]FYI - here's a good summary  of what is happening next:

"The grand jury of the Circuit Court meets every month or two (it depends on the schedule in that court).  The grand jury meets on “term day,” which is the first day of the month-long or two-month-long term of court.  At that time, the case is presented to the grand jury — a group of 5 to 8 citizens chosen by the Clerk and the Judge.  In such a case, the police officer or lead investigator will typically just tell the grand jury what the Commonwealth’s evidence is.  The grand jury will almost never hear from actual witnesses, and typically will not hear any of the defense side of things.  Not surprisingly, in virtually all cases certified to the grand jury, the grand jury issues an indictment.  And because virtually all cases result in indictments, the defendant will need to be present in Circuit Court on term day when the next date will be picked."

In Fairfax Co Circuit Court, Grand Jury meets the 3rd Monday of every odd-numbered month (January, March, May, July, September and November) and Criminal Term Day shall commence at 9:00 a.m. on each Thursday immediately following the regular Grand Jury. [/quote]
