Its by state. NJ is a "grand jury" state. PA is not. They can empanel a grand jury (like they did in Penn State sex abuse case) but its not required by state law. Very few states require grand jury indictments; grand jury indictments are required by US Constitution in federal cases.
Again the 10 day rule is when its ENTITLED; prosecutors generally dont wait that long. And it comes up in dribbles, not all at once. So prosecutors will hold back the good stuff til the end if they want to mess with you.

"Meanwhile, I got the uncle who wants me out of the way.... Great family, aren't they? This is what it's all about." ~Louis "Bent-Finger Louie" Monacello
"It was a wholesale annihilation.... How many times do they want to be beat? Because I'm frankly getting tired of it. They went fishing for Joe Ligambi, and the jury gave them Gary Battaglini.” ~ Def Atty Christopher Warren
