Is there somewhere online that I can go and see the grand jury indictments from this last weeks session?

I don't think they will post them until an arrest is made? I could be wrong though.
I don't think so, but if you call the circuit court clerk's office, someone there can tell you.
I know that some are called "secret indictments" and I'm sure they wouldn't be.

Um, once someone is indicted, it's no longer a secret. The grand jury is "secret." But once a person is indicted, it becomes part of the public record. Unclegus is correct to an extent though. If a case originated in the grand jury (requiring an arrest following indictment, the case isn't public until the arrest warrant is served. If the case started in district court, a separate arrest following indictment isn't necessary and the case is a public record. There is a public computer terminal at the Lauderdale Co. courthouse on the fifth floor. You could check there.
