AIN'T IT GRAND?
External link: http://www.udayton.edu/~grandjur/recent/hnygjw.htm
I just completed a two week term as a New York Grand Juror. It was full time every day, and we heard dozens of cases. Unlike a trial jury that decides whether a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, we merely decided whether each suspect was probably guilty or not, and therefore should be formally accused of a crime. I'd really love to talk more about it, but it's a felony to violate Grand Jury secrecy. I can say that the experience was very interesting, and that I was very impressed with everyone involved.
This is The Official Record.
