	In [[July 2022]], as per standard Virginia legal procedures, the District Court judge certified Chris's felony charge to the Circuit Court for presentation to a Grand Jury on whether a felony charge was appropriate. The step was legally necessary since a District Court judge has no jurisdiction to try a felony case, which is instead handled by the Circuit Court.<ref name=grandjuryhandbook>https://web.archive.org/web/20210522092718/https://www.vacourts.gov/courts/circuit/handbook_grand_jurors.pdf</ref>		In [[July 2022]], as per standard Virginia legal procedures, the District Court judge certified Chris's felony charge to the Circuit Court for presentation to a Grand Jury on whether a felony charge was appropriate.

	In [[August 2022]], the Grand Jury hearing was postponed with a continuance. A motion by David Heilberg for an [[autism disorder deferred disposition]] was filed, to be considered by the court. Shortly after, Chris's case was sealed, though bits of information still emerged. By 11 August, the case file was updated to note that "waive right to indictment" and "transportation order" were added and that a review of Chris's case is scheduled for [[August 2023]].

This upset Chris, and he claims to have said something along the lines of "Hell No! Send Me Home to the Sonichu Temple, Now, Or Premature Apocalypse" out loud to the judge. He then wrote about having also had a bad experience with a "Thieving [[Jerkop]]" while allegedly being temporarily moved to a cell at the Greene County Sheriff's Office (which he again erroneously refers to as "Ruckersville Sheriff's Office"). Chris spent the Thanksgiving, [[Christmas]], and New Years holidays behind bars.

	The 3 February hearing was also closed to the public and resulted in another continuance. As a result, Chris spent his 40th [[Christian Love Day\|birthday]] incarcerated and missed out on [[BABSCon]] in April.
