Answer to Question 1

The grand jury is designed as a check on unwarranted prosecutions. All federal prosecutions and about half of the states require grand juries. The defendant and his/her attorney are not allowed to present evidence, call witnesses, or even be physically present. Grand jury proceedings are held in secret. Prosecutors must convince a majority of the grand jurors that a crime was committed and that there is probable cause that the defendant committed the crime. If the grand jury finds probable cause, it returns an indictment (true bill) that charges the defendant with the crime. If it refuses to indict the defendant, it is called a no bill or no true bill.. In reality, grand juries are dominated by the prosecutor and rarely fail to indict in cases brought before them.
