What is a grand jury?

A grand jury is a panel of 20 registered voters. When a grand jury meets, the accused and their attorney are not present. The grand jury hears testimony from investigators, law enforcement officers, and/or alleged victims. A grand jury’s job is not to determine whether the accused is guilty or not guilty, but rather whether there is sufficient evidence to indict someone of a crime. It take 12 of the 20 grand juror’s to vote to indict someone. An indictment is simply the formal charge that brings a felony case into the jurisdiction of the trial court.
