So you...

technically have been charged, but the grand jury makes the decision whether or not that crime should go forth a little bit further.

And that's what a target means.

It means we're looking at you.

We're investigating you.

We're probably going to charge you.

And so once these people have gotten a subpoena, our grand jury has said, or the California grand jury has said, y'all need to show up and testify, ask questions, so we can try to figure out if the case against David should go further.

We're not positive yet.

It gives you an opportunity to come sit down, tell your side of the story, negotiate sometimes and try to get and find a lesser charge.

On the state system, it's exceedingly rare to get a target letter to say that somebody is being looked at.

If David is who we're looking at, and now that we know from looking at some of the documentation, he's what's called a target, which means he knows he is being looked at, and the grand jury is trying to make a decision if he should be indicted.

But he has, according to the documentation that we've read, because I think the background is his family got a subpoena.

They said they didn't want to go.

They appealed it.

And when it got appealed, a lot of the documentation got leaked to news media sources because things are required to be filed.

After they were filed, we see that he is a target of investigation, and they're trying to bring his family in to give information so they can make a decision whether or not they can indict.

Generally, it doesn't happen that way.

Now, usually it happens with the federal government.

And we represent a lot of people in Nushka who get what's called a target letter.

A target letter generally says the federal government is investigating you for a potential crime.
