I agree with what this says except for the part of praying for the sheep. Keep in mind, the sheep had an active part in voting a wolf into a place of authority where the wolf then used information warfare against all those sheep to convince them the sheepdog was the enemy. The sheep are welcome to choose to be slaughtered.

There is a reason we eat sheep and use them as a resource while dogs are our best friends in this society.

[brianr10 #62] I heard on a local radio program that the DA was skipping the grand July, which violates the 5th Amendment.

[hanamizu #108] The requirement of a Grand Jury only applies to Federal charges. Most states have dispensed with most Grand Juries.

The 5th Amendment grand jury requirement has not been incorporated against the states. Most states permit the filing of an information. That does not appear to be the case in Georgia. Trial is upon indictment or accusation. There are some special provisions for peace officers accused of crime in performance of duties. It appears due process may have been short circuited.

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2018/title-17/chapter-7/article-3/section-17-7-51/

O.C.G.A. 17-7-51 (2018)

17-7-51. Special presentments treated as indictments; entry upon minutes; prosecutions upon special presentments

All special presentments by the grand jury charging defendants with violations of the penal laws shall be treated as indictments. It shall not be necessary for the clerk of the court to enter the special presentments in full upon the minutes, but only the statement of the case and finding of the grand jury as in cases of indictments. It shall not be necessary for the district attorney to frame bills of indictment on the special presentments, but he may arraign defendants upon the special presentments and put them on trial in like manner as if the presentments were bills of indictment.

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2018/title-17/chapter-7/article-3/section-17-7-52/

§ 17-7-52. Procedure for indictment or special presentment of peace officer for crime in performance of duties; notification; rights of officer

GA Code § 17-7-52 (2018)

(a) Before a bill of indictment or special presentment against a present or former peace officer charging the officer with a crime which is alleged to have occurred while he or she was in the performance of his or her duties is presented to a grand jury, the officer shall be given a copy of the proposed bill of indictment or special presentment and notified in writing of the contemplated action by the prosecuting attorney. Such notice and a copy of the proposed bill of indictment or special presentment shall be provided to such officer not less than 20 days prior to the date upon which a grand jury will begin hearing evidence, and such notice shall inform such officer:

(1) That the grand jury is investigating such officer's conduct to determine if there is probable cause to conclude that he or she has violated one or more laws of this state;

(2) Of the date upon which the grand jury will begin hearing testimony on the proposed bill of indictment or special presentment and the location of the hearing;

(3) That he or she may request, but cannot be compelled, to testify as a witness before the grand jury regarding his or her conduct; and

(4) That, if such officer requests to testify before the grand jury, he or she will be permitted to do so at the conclusion of the presentation of the state's case-in-chief and that he or she may be questioned by the prosecuting attorney or members of the grand jury as are any other witnesses.

(b) If the officer requests to appear as a witness, he or she shall notify the prosecuting attorney any time prior to the date the grand jury will begin hearing testimony in such investigation. The prosecuting attorney shall, after consulting with the grand jury, inform the officer in writing of the date and time when he or she shall be present in order to testify and of the procedure that the grand jury will follow pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section. The prosecuting attorney shall further advise the grand jury that an officer has the right to appear and testify or not to appear and testify and that, if the officer chooses not to testify, the grand jury shall not consider that in any way in making its decision.

(c) Prior to the introduction of any evidence or the first witness being sworn, the prosecuting attorney shall advise the grand jury of the laws applicable to the conduct of such proceedings, all relevant sections of the Code relating to the crime or crimes alleged in the bill of indictment, and any Code section that excuses or justifies such conduct. In particular, the grand jury shall be advised of Code Sections 16-3-20, 16-3-21, 16-3-23.1, and 17-4-20.

(d) If the officer requests to testify before the grand jury and appears at the date and time specified, the case shall proceed as in any other criminal case heard by a grand jury, except that the officer shall be permitted to testify at the conclusion of the presentation of the state's case-in-chief and that he or she shall only be present in the grand jury room while he or she is testifying. Such officer may be questioned by the prosecuting attorney or members of the grand jury as are any other witnesses. After the officer has been sworn as a witness and prior to any testimony by the officer, the prosecuting attorney shall advise the officer substantially of the following:

(1) The officer's appearance before the grand jury is voluntary, and he or she cannot be compelled to appear as a witness;

(2) By agreeing to be sworn as a witness on the bill of indictment or special presentment that will be laid before the grand jury, he or she will be asked to testify and answer questions and may be asked to produce records, documents, or other physical evidence;

(3) The officer may refuse to answer any question or to produce records, documents, and other physical evidence if a truthful answer to the question or producing such records, documents, or other physical evidence would tend to incriminate the officer or would tend to bring infamy, disgrace, or public contempt upon the officer;

(4) Any testimony given by the officer may be used against him or her by the grand jury or in a subsequent legal proceeding; and

(5) If the officer is represented by an attorney, the attorney shall have the right to be present in the grand jury room while the officer is testifying, and the officer will be permitted reasonable opportunity to consult with his or her attorney outside the grand jury room.

(e) After being sworn as a witness but prior to being asked any questions by the prosecuting attorney or the grand jurors, the officer may make such sworn statement as he or she shall desire. The officer's attorney shall not propound questions to the officer nor object to questions propounded to the officer on evidentiary grounds.

(f) At the conclusion of the officer's testimony, if any, the prosecuting attorney may present rebuttal evidence and advise the grand jury on matters of law.

(g) At any time during the presentation of evidence or during deliberations, the grand jury may amend the bill of indictment or special presentment or instruct the prosecuting attorney to cause a new bill of indictment or special presentment to be created as in any other case. When a bill of indictment or special presentment is amended or newly created, the accused peace officer and his or her attorney shall be provided a copy of it.

(h) No individual other than the jurors, and any interpreter needed to assist a hearing impaired or speech impaired juror, shall be present while the grand jury is deliberating or voting.

(i)(1) As used in this subsection, the term "nonserious traffic offense" means any offense in violation of Title 40 which is not prohibited by Article 15 of Chapter 6 of Title 40.

(2) The requirements of this Code section shall apply to all prosecutions, whether for felonies or misdemeanors, other than nonserious traffic offenses, and no such prosecution shall proceed either in state or superior court without a grand jury indictment or special presentment.

presentment (pri-zent-mont). (15c) 1. The act of presenting or laying before a court or other tribunal a formal statement about a matter to be dealt with legally. 2. Criminal procedure. A formal written accusation returned by a grand jury on its own initiative, without a prosecutor’s previous indictment request. • Presentments are obsolete in the federal courts. See CHARGING INSTRUMENT.

“A grand jury has only two functions, either to indict or to return a ‘no bill.’ The Constitution speaks also of a ‘presentment,’ but this is a term with a distinct historical meaning now not well understood. Historically presentment was the process by which a grand jury initiated an independent investigation and asked that a charge be drawn to cover the facts should they constitute a crime. With United States attorneys now always available to advise grand juries, proceeding by presentment is an outmoded practice.” 1 Charles Alan Wright, Federal Practice and Procedure § 110, at 459 (3d ed. 1999).

Black's Law Dictionary, 11th Ed.

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2018/title-17/chapter-7/article-4/section-17-7-70/

§ 17-7-70. Trial upon accusations in felony cases; trial upon accusations of felony and misdemeanor cases in which guilty plea entered and indictment waived

(a) In all felony cases, other than cases involving capital felonies, in which defendants have been bound over to the superior court, are confined in jail or released on bond pending a commitment hearing, or are in jail having waived a commitment hearing, the district attorney shall have authority to prefer accusations, and such defendants shall be tried on such accusations, provided that defendants going to trial under such accusations shall, in writing, waive indictment by a grand jury.

(b) Judges of the superior court may open their courts at any time without the presence of either a grand jury or a trial jury to receive and act upon pleas of guilty in misdemeanor cases and in felony cases, except those punishable by death or life imprisonment, when the judge and the defendant consent thereto. The judge may try the issues in such cases without a jury upon an accusation filed by the district attorney where the defendant has waived indictment and consented thereto in writing and counsel is present in court representing the defendant either by virtue of his employment or by appointment by the court.

People who live in cities (hellholes) run by democrats will see more burnings and lootings in the future.

Violence goes UP in democrat run cities - - property values go down.

White people need to move out of these hellholes while they can still get something for their homes.

My 95 year old uncle worked in a union steel mill along the Ohio River. Told me a story some years past of one of the union guys was found out to be snitching to the corporate bosses the union plans. This was early 1970’s.

A week later the snitcher was mysteriously electrocuted on the job. No one heard or saw a thing. Through chance I met a retired police officer from the town and brought up the story. He said they were 100% sure it was murder but could never prove it.

We had a coal strike back around the same time and union truckers were shooting at the scab trucks from bridges with high powered rifles.

Those union guys were tough back then. Many if not most were WWII combat vets just like my uncle and one more person killed under their belt would not matter.
