    5th amendment states that no person shall “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”.

    A grand jury indictment determines whether there is probable cause to believe a person has committed a crime. The prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of that crime.

    You can’t treat a person as though they’re guilty without due process which is a long way of saying innocent until proven guilty.
