Yes, a "No True Bill" can potentially be turned into a direct indictment by a commonwealth attorney. A "No True Bill" indicates that a grand jury did not find enough evidence to indict a suspect. However, the commonwealth attorney can choose to pursue charges again if new evidence emerges or if they believe there is a sufficient basis to present the case directly to a trial court without another grand jury review.
