Citizens’ Grand Jury – Rarely used but this could be changing.
The BBC has reported in a story that a young woman in Kansas has chosen to invoke a “citizens’ Grand Jury” proceeding provided by law in Kansas – a law dating from 1887. Where the prosecutor declined bringing rape charges against a college student, the victim has gathered signatures and now her perseverance for justice may bring her some closure. Interesting story about a law I had never heard of!
