What seems somewhat surprising is that Hincapie didn't assert the 5th amendment. Of course, the Prosecutors could then give him immunity, and force him to testify (or be in contenpt and sit in jail ala Greg Anderson)
It's possible that when it all comes out that Hincapie may have been given immunity.
Grand Jury proceedings are secret ( with significant penalties for leaking information) and while Grand Jury testimony can become public in certain circumstances later in the proceedings, you often don't find out what actually happened in the Grand Jury.
