A no bill means that the grand jury did not believe that there was enough evidence to proceed with the case as it was filed.
If the person was in jail, then probably they weren't eligible for bail.

As I understand it a "No bill" simply means the person was arrested under suspicion but the D.A. or the grand jury determined there was not enough evidence to pursue the case. It means they are free to go but should more evidence turn up they could be arrested again.

Is that the same as; I forgot the term. But a prosecutor can ha-ult the case for up to six months. Say your charged. But there was not enough evidence to bring you to trial. An you are still being charged. But when the six months come if they find evidence against you to bring you to trial you can be charged. But if no all charges are dropped. Thanks. Some Latin term. I forgot the name. Thanks again. I think it is called a Nolle. Or Nolle prosequi. Which says, "Nolle prosequi - A formal motion by the prosecuting officer in a criminal action, which states that he "will no further prosecute" the case. The court would grant the motion in order to dispose of the case. "

"No Bill' usually refers to a grand jury or states attorney (district attorney) finding no probable cause to believe the accused committed a crime or a crime occurred. This can sometimes happen if the police make a mistake or further investigation exonerates the accused or a witness who originally provided information leading to the arrest now refuses to testify or changes their story.
