What is the purpose of a grand jury in Florida?
Return to Video FAQsTranscript:
The purpose of a grand jury is to consider evidence that is brought before them by a prosecutor, and to make a recommendation as to whether they would bring an indictment to actually criminally charge somebody with a crime, and typically those are very serious crimes or they might be politically sensitive crimes, and so grand juries tend to be very secretive, and if somebody reaches out to you and says they would like for you to perhaps testify in front of a grand jury, you should contact a lawyer immediately.
