as a recent Grand Jurier in queens county, state of NY, we 'returned true bills' or 'no true bill'.

they were not handed up or down. (well actually the chairman (a woman) and the co-chair (an other woman) did hand them down, since they sat at raised desks in the front of the GJ room.

(between cases, we watch for the red tailed hawk that build a nest in one of the few windows in the queen jail) he requently roosted on the corner of the queen county building, and often perched there to eat. )
