I am just speculating... I often wonder if the Ramsey's dropped BR and JBR off at home, got them settled, told them to have a snack and get their PJ's on while PR and JR dropped the gifts off to their friends. Perhaps the GJ testimony revealed this info. Could easily explain the true bill.
I find the indictment very interesting and am surprised it isn't getting much more discussion here.
To me, it seems apparent that the GJ believed that a 3rd person (BR) committed the murder.
The only documents I have found are for Count IV(a) and Count VII. Two charges that have been mentioned repeatedly.

Is it true that Hunter cannot legally discuss anything that took place in the grand jury? Is this because the evidence contains information regarding Burke who was a minor at the time?
I don't know if that's the reason, Mandala. I think he just doesn't want any secrets to get out.

Does this mean the GJ believed that nine year-old BR committed a First Degree Murder? That what happened was even more than a fierce sibling fight that escalated to the point where BR might have struck JB's head in a rage with an object?"knowing the person being assisted has committed and was suspected of the crime Of Murder in the First Degree and Child abuse resulting in Death"
I think the GJ was just labeling the crimes that were committed against JB - "Murder in the First Degree and Child Abuse Resulting in Death". BR was only 9 at the time and couldn't be charged with the crime of murder. Even though we now know that the head blow would have eventually resulted in her demise, it was the strangulation that ultimately caused her death.Quote from Count VII:

Also, the term child abuse makes me think more of a parent's actions than those of a sibling. (?)
