Not the final, but the next step in the legal sequence...

With Bridge Case Charges, a Cloud Descends on Christie’s White House Hopes
NY Times = MICHAEL BARBARO - MAY 1, 2015

Quote:
The 37-page charging document recounts a ruthless act of political retribution:
to punish a small-town mayor for refusing to endorse Mr. Christie’s 2013 re-election,
the governor’s confidants unleashed a major traffic jam that gridlocked ordinary commuters,
emergency responders and children on the first day of school.

Nowhere does the indictment say Mr. Christie, a Republican, knew of the scheme or was involved in it.

Now, the growing risk for Mr. Christie is that the very belligerence that electrified voters,
the press and the Republican Party, and catapulted him into a credible contender
for the White House, may wind up putting the presidency out of his reach.
