Except that doesn’t answer my question. I asked for an alternative, you gave me an unfeasible practice that is not inline with the legal tradition of the united states. Abolishing indictment hearings means the court system will be even more backlogged than it already is, as these hearings sift through charges that do not have any standing and  

You propose we abolish grand juries, but I assume you will keep the petty juries that are used during the trial? If that’s the case, your claim is completely moot, as a grand jury provides a similar function to a petty jury. 

And everybody charged with a felony must be brought up on formal charges via Indictment hearing, some with grand juries and some by the prosecution filing with the court, which still requires a preliminary hearing to determine the validity of the charges. This is outlined in the 5th amendment, which is 5th grade history class, bro.  

Abolish grand juries in police violence cases and stop using crooked prosecutors that don’t actually want justice.

Then maybe cops will start being held accountable for their actions.
