Over the next few days, keep in mind that when a grand jury indicts, it "hands up" an indictment. It doesn't "hand down" an indictment.

This is literal. A grand jury indicts. Then the grand jury foreman walks the indictment paper to a courtroom, and hands it up to the judge, who is sitting on an elevated bench.

Grand juries hand up indictments. Judges hand down sentences.
