Check out this quote:
"There are times when grand jurors have to make a distinction between misconduct and criminal misconduct," he said. "The criminal justice system is not a perfect instrument. Sometimes it's a blunt instrument and not a scalpel."

Funny how that imprecision always seems to benefit one side, huh? So sending people to the hospital by running into them with your truck is just regular misconduct; we save the CRIMINAL misconduct for such horrors as sitting peacefully in a tree...
