He Was Arrested... But No Trial #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

So, over 15 years later, it is now 2022. Chad Carr is arrested [music] for capital murder.
While describing that moment to us, Captain Chilson said that Chad didn't even seem surprised, but rather [music]
it felt more like he was he believes maybe relieved. And without anything ever even coming up about DNA, we were
told that Chad was already changing his story about not [clears throat] being inside the house that day. He
preemptively starts indicating to a Texas Ranger that he'd been in and out of there all of the time. So, he was
thinking that they had found something then. Maybe. I don't know. But he's booked into jail, and for the
first [music] time in years, it feels like this case is moving forward. And for Britney's family, it's
overwhelming. It's hope, maybe even the start of healing. But in cases like this, we know that an
arrest isn't the end. It's just like the next step. Especially in Texas, because before a
felony case can go to trial, it has to go through a grand jury. Prosecutors have to lay out what they believe
happened, and why Chad Carr should stand trial for Britney's murder. A decision takes just about the full 90 days that
they're given to decide, and then the grand jury returns >> [music] >> a no bill.
Meaning there will be no trial.

More than 15 years after Brittany McGlone’s murder, investigators made an arrest.

In 2022, Chad Carr was taken into custody for capital murder. According to investigators, he didn’t appear surprised. Around that time, he also began changing parts of his story about whether he had been inside the home.

For Brittany’s family, the arrest brought a wave of hope — a sense that the case was finally moving forward.

But in Texas, an arrest is only one step. The case still had to go before a grand jury.

After reviewing the evidence over the course of about 90 days, the grand jury returned a no bill — meaning Chad Carr would not be indicted, and the case would not go to trial.
