Article 190 - The Grand Jury and Its Proceedings
190.80 - Grand Jury; Release of Defendant Upon Failure of Timely Grand Jury Action.

(a) The lack of a grand jury disposition during such period of
confinement was due to the defendant's request, action or condition, or
occurred with his consent; or
(b) The people have shown good cause why such order of release should
not be issued. Such good cause must consist of some compelling fact or
circumstance which precluded grand jury action within the prescribed
period or rendered the same against the interest of justice.
