Uhh....I'm not so sure the tree issue would land with a Grand Jury anywhere. Think about it. The cost of replacing the trees, and possibly some fines assessed by the Water Authority involved, only amounted to around $50K. Pretend for a moment that it was a $50K bank robbery - or jewel heist. How many Grand Juries have you heard of recently being given those types of cases? And, to make things even more complicated, and legally cumbersome, in this case, the State Attorney would be seeking a "no arrest indictment" since they have no one either charged, or in custody. Nope, until someone spills the beans for the reward money down the road, or some other development comes out of left field, I think this thing will go down in The Villages Urban Legend Collection as "The one they got away with!"
