In an American movie, one character asks the question above. How can we translate it into Brazilian Portuguese? I have doubts about the words "return" and "indictment" in this context.

Didn't the Grand Jury return without an indictment?
O Júri de Inquérito não voltou sem um indiciamento?
"Voltou", porque o "Grand Jury" vai para uma sala separada para deliberações e depois "volta" (ou retorna) com uma decisão.

: return an indictment or a verdict means to state the indictment or the verdict at the end of the trial

Didn�t the Grand Jury return without an indictment?
Não é verdade que o "tribunal do júri" voltou sem uma acusação?
Eu traduziria desta forma.

Well, you could say \"Não é verdade que o \"tribunal do júri\" negou a acusação?

return indictment
O Júri não voltou sem um pronunciamento?
Usa-se pronunciamento para "indictment". Se quiser uma referência, Noronha Legal Dictionary.
"Voltar" já foi explicado antes pelo colega.
"Voltar" já foi explicado antes pelo colega.

Então o júri de inquérito não concluiu sem culpa formada?
"Votou" pft defensável para manter o tom americano. Outras possibilidades: encerrou, acabou, fechou, etc.

"Didn�t the Grand Jury return without an indictment?"
"O tribunal não reabriu a sessão sem um indiciamento?"
I say "reabriu a sessão" because I don´t think that a "tribunal" really "volta" em Portuguese. The coloquialism in Portuguese would incur as a much lower register than it sounds in English. And, why not use "indiciamento"? When we say "acusação" in Portuguese, we may interprete it as "plaintiff", and it does not seem to be the case. The plaintiff should be there, however without an indictment.
