You DO understand that grand juries do NOT try cases, they hear the evidence from the prosecutor, and determine whether the evidence is sufficient to lay charges in a case. Since your friend has already BEEN charged with those crimes, their case will not need to go to a grand jury, failing any plea deals being worked out, it will go to trial, and if the prosecution has sufficient evidence and witnesses, your friend will be convicted, and will likely get a harsher sentence than what the plea offer included.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
