the idea of a grand jury is also crazy, basically they just decide wether to charge someone or not, not even a regular jury to determine if they are guilty or not. i heard getting called to GJ is worst than regular, because it can last alot longer.

Requiring a grand jury for a case of vandalism is ridiculous in and of itself.

You do realize that they sought felony charges, right? Any charge like that absolutely should require a grand jury and would be ridiculous not to.

This is the sort of thing Grand Juries were originally created for. To curb the abuse of power that always comes with the position of prosecutor.

It's just too bad more people don't understand that their role on a Grand Jury is to be adversarial to the one trying to bring the case.

It's completely different from a trial jury though. They usually only meet once or twice a week. Sometimes a couple times a month.
